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.

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.

Hi

Unfortunately patches like this cannot be easily applied.

As the visual rendering here is more important then List syntax error.

So we would need to know some other way to get similar output while
not hitting syntax errors.
