Bug Description

Binary package hint: yelp

Yelp fail to format certain unix man page correctly, probably because
it fail to recognize certain nroff macros.

Step to reproduce (this is an exemple that require mplayer.) :

1. Open yelp
2. Manual page -> application -> mplayer

The
INTERACTIVE CONTROL->keybord control
paragraphe is not formated correctly.

3. Look at 'man mplayer' to see what it should look like.
