 Hi all,
 
 The /usr/X11R7/man/man3/XCreateGC.3 file begins with
 
     '\" t
 
 This means the page should be passed through tbl(1).  Which tool is
 responsible for recognizing that: man(1) or groff(1)?  It does not look
 like the latter recognizes it.
 
 Also looks like mandoc fails to format /usr/share/man/man1/groff.1
 correctly.  The lists of options is all messed up with mandoc:
 
     mandoc /usr/share/man/man1/groff.1 | less
     groff -Tascii -mandoc /usr/share/man/man1/groff.1 | less
 
 Kind regards,
 + Kimmo
