Hi Branden,

Unofficial patch attached.

Do you like the patch?

"Like" is a strong word.  It makes the page less weird.  I'll stand by
it, if that's what you mean.

Should I apply it, or is it just a draft?

Go right ahead.  The real work is in auditing that table line by line.

Would you mind sending a patch that I can apply with git? I could manually edit the file you attached, but I'm feeling lazy for that :\


I saw reference to some compression program called "yabba" and I
thought, "what the Hutt?"

:)

I have a patch for an extension that wasn't covered by this file. I'm guessing pkg-config wasn't invented when this page was written? That's really old... It seems the page goes back to man-pages 1.0 (with some additions later; mostly in 1.21).

Cheers,

Alex


Regards,
Branden

For fun I thought I'd see what the diffstat between 1.22.4 and master
looked like, and filtered out files with fewer than 1,000 lines of diff.

I hope people will take me seriously when I suggest that groff's
documentation has undergone revision.

Wow!
