Problems with XQueryColor.3x: 1. 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 and .in in favor of requests like .nf/.fi, and .RS/.RE that have structural translations. 2. TBL markup not used where it should be. Tables stitched together with .ta requests can't be lifted to DocBook and will often choke third-party viewers such as TKMan, XMan, Rosetta, etc. --- XQueryColor.3x-orig 2007-01-14 02:22:42.000000000 -0500 +++ XQueryColor.3x 2007-01-14 02:24:15.000000000 -0500 @@ -276,16 +276,13 @@ The syntax is an initial sharp sign character followed by a numeric specification, in one of the following formats: .LP -.\" Start marker code here -.Ds 0 -.TA 2i -.ta 2i +.TS +l l. \&#RGB (4 bits each) \&#RRGGBB (8 bits each) \&#RRRGGGBBB (12 bits each) \&#RRRRGGGGBBBB (16 bits each) -.De -.\" End marker code here +.TE .LP The R, G, and B represent single hexadecimal digits.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
