I've used the historical manpages -- especially 7th Edition and 4.3 Reno -- for years, thanks. Today I'm reading the 4.3 Reno page diff3(1), from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=diff3&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=4.3BSD+Reno&format=html . It has a problem I've seen in some other pages (but not reported before): some small bits of text are missing. For instance, the second paragraph of DESCRIPTION begins like this: Options are: Produces output in a form suitable as an input script for the ed(1) utility. Which option does that describe? It doesn't say. Another example is in the FILES section: FILES temporary files. the executable. I think that section should include /tmp/XXX and /usr/bin/diff3, or something. Fix: I'm guessing that there's a macro call which isn't being read or handled by the man-to-html converter. For instance, the missing -e option might have been coded as: .XX -e How-To-Repeat: Open the manual page I mentioned in Firefox 2.0.0.3, or probably in other browsers too.

This manual page is being rendered incorrectly. Rationale: 1. The bug is quite old 2. It is for an Operating System 4.3 Reno that is no longer being updated 3. Important to have render anomalies evaluated and potentially addressed My suggestion would be: To realign this bug to a non-doc component, maybe infrastructure?
