Well, I am already in about halfway of the page... I haven't experienced major problems with markup (yet). This is probably because I am trying to "write it out" a little, instead of basically copying the file like was apparently done in the other BSDs. The content remains the same, of course. It shouldn't be noticeable harder to maintain than a text file. FWIW, generally manual pages also appear to suffer less from bitrot than random files. But maybe this is just circular reasoning ;-). - Jukka.
