I also use this line for testing man page edits. It will be a very sad thing if it's been broken in 9.0.

I'm guessing this relates to nroff/groff tweaks, but I was a bit unhappy to learn that the command I've used for the last decade to render man pages while editing them (nroff -mandoc foo.1 | more) no longer works (output below).

It seems likely this has to do with teaching groff to use ANSI escape codes that more, by default, rejects. I'm aware there are lots of other command lines I could use, but it seems unfortunate that this is broken -- possibly more should accept more escape codes in its default configuration, or nroff should generate fewer of them?

(I'd love to see this fixed for 9.0)
