[Groff] address@hidden: Bug#163195: groff-base: mdoc should define string Am]

[Colin Watson]

Hi,

I received this bug report. The relevant bit of NetBSD's CVS repository
seems to be here:

  http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/sharesrc/share/tmac/andoc

I'm not quite sure why these are defined in andoc, as they seem to be
rather mdoc-ish. The new strings are:

  .ds Lt <
  .ds Gt >
  .ds Am &
  .ds Le \(<=
  .ds Ge \(>=

Thanks,

Package: groff-base
Version: 1.18-6
Severity: wishlist

NetBSD manual pages have started using the predefined string \*[Am] for
the ampersand.  Unfortunately our mdoc package does not support this.
