I am not sure whether this problem may occur for you. It did occur for me after I added a correctly formatted part (according to man -s 5 man) to the OPTIONS part of a man page. I had to completely reformat the whole OPTIONS part in order to make it work again. The corrected sccs-admin.1 man page is in ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily/schily-2008-01-10.tar.bz2 > I realize that the roff pages are difficult for you to edit, we are > working hard to transition to an XML man page gate on opensolaris.org. > After we complete that work, you can clone a workspace with exact same > sources as we use inside Sun. > > Of course, then we will have to work on new tools for processing to > nroff or new command to read XML...

If I create portable software from previously Solaris only software, I need to take care about usability of man pages on other platforms too. The only format that is portable to all platforms seems to be troff. BTW: Why did Sun switch to XML?
