This is automatically generated email about markup problems in a man
page for which you appear to be responsible. If you are not the right
person or list, please tell me so I can correct my database.
See http://catb.org/~esr/doclifter/bugs.html for details on how and
why these patches were generated. Feel free to email me with any
questions. Note: These patches do not change the modification date of
any manual page. You may wish to do that by hand.
I apologize if this message seems spammy or impersonal. The volume of
markup bugs I am tracking is over five hundred - there is no real
alternative to generating bugmail from a database and template.

Problems with screen.1:
My records indicate that you have accepted this patch, so this is just
a reminder.
List syntax error. This means .IP, .TP or .RS/.RE markup is garbled.
Common causes include .TP just before a section header, .TP entries
with tags but no bodies, and mandoc lists with no trailing .El.
These confuse doclifter, and may also mess up stricter man-page
browsers like Xman and Rosetta.
Use of low-level troff hackery to set special indents or breaks can't
be translated. The page will have rendering faults in HTML, and
probably also under third-party man page browsers such as Xman,
Rosetta, and the KDE help browser. This patch eliminates .br, .ta, .ti,
.ce, .in, and \h in favor of requests like .RS/.RE that have
structural translations.
