Bug Description

Software: CriticalMass
Version: 1.0.0
File: critter.6
Patch: Yes

  Warning from "lexgrog":

lexgrog: critter.6.gz: parse failed

  No space in the first word in the "NAME" section (man(7),
man-pages(7)). The first word is the name of the command.

  Space at end of line removed

#
  Output from "nroff" should (usually) have only the left margin adjusted
(".ad l"). Otherwise the space between words can be too long.

  Output for a manual should (usually) have the right margin ragged
(".ad l"), as it is not (usually) intended for a book or other professional
printing medium.
#
#
  Each sentence should begin in a new line.

a) The space between sentences is different between formatters.

b) Changes in one line do then not affect others, and do therefore not
appear as changed in the output of "diff".

#
  Sometimes a small change in space between a roman and an italic
character is needed (use ".RI" or ".IR" macros).

#
  Remove spaces at end of lines.
