Does that still apply to

  view-source:http://man.openbsd.org/ksh

I spent a few weeks in 2017 improving mandoc HTML output,
both with respect to functionality (better markup) and with
respect to HTML code quality.

In case there are still aspects that can be improved (in particular,
simplified) without loss of semantic markup quality and without
loss of presentational quality, specific hints are very welcome.

Yours,

P.S.
Only bacause i'm replying anyway and it's just five lines:

>   .Op : Ns Fl c Ar cc-addr Ns \&:
>   .Fl S Ar var Ns Op Ns = Ns Ar value Ns

That's full of cargo cult, things are actually much simpler
even for describing such unusually complicated syntax:

.Oo : Ns Fl c Ar cc-addr : Oc
.Eo [: Fl c Ar cc-addr Ec :]

.Fl S Ar var Ns Op = Ns Ar value
.Fl S Ar var Ns Op Pf = Ar value
