Re: bin/50680: man page for top(1) does not properly display default delay

[Ingo Schwarze <schwarze%usta.de@localhost>]

Hi,

there is no problem with mandoc.  The top(1) manual is just plain
broken:  In the roff language, to interpolate the number contained
in a register, you can use the \n escape sequence.  You cannot use
the .af request for that purpose, that one serves a completely
different purpose, see the roff documentation.  Groff renders it
exactly the same way as mandoc.

The following patch fixes the broken manual page.

Yours,
  Ingo
