Hi Deri,

This sounds like 2 different issues, one arising from my recent change to
afmtodit, and one in the man macro package.

See if this patch does this trick:


$ git di tmac/an.tmac
diff --git a/tmac/an.tmac b/tmac/an.tmac
index 9e38ba569..8f199430c 100644

Please reassign back to me when you have results.

Probably the same thing will have to be done for mdoc(7).
