Probably. I run my tests against package-installed versions of man
pages because trying to fetch repo versions of every page in my
distribution's nan directories would be impossibly complicated.

Not practical, alas. There's no uniform way to get the version, and at
over 500 patches it's too big to do by hand.

I see how you got confused. I'm afraid manlifter isn't very useful
outside my specialized test setup. It's really intended to be used for
test-translating an entirte man tree.
It looks like your page uses the groff .schar extension to define a glyph.
If you email me a current copy I'll try to fix it up for you.
