W manpage-has-errors-from-man

All reports of manpage-has-errors-from-man for the archive. The extended description of this tag is:

This man page provokes warnings or errors from man.

"cannot adjust" or "can't break" are trouble with paragraph filling, usually related to long lines. Adjustment can be helped by left justifying, breaks can be helped with hyphenation, see "Manipulating Filling and Adjusting" and "Manipulating Hyphenation" in the manual.

"can't find numbered character" usually means latin1 etc in the input, and this warning indicates characters will be missing from the output. You can change to escapes like \[:a] described on the groff_char man page.

Other warnings are often formatting typos, like missing quotes around a string argument to .IP. These are likely to result in lost or malformed output. See the groff_man (or groff_mdoc if using mdoc) man page for information on macros.

This test uses man's --warnings option to enable groff warnings that catch common mistakes, such as putting . or ' characters at the start of a line when they are intended as literal text rather than groff commands. This can be fixed either by reformatting the paragraph so that these characters are not at the start of a line, or by adding a zero-width space (\&) immediately before them.

At worst, warning messages can be disabled with the .warn directive, see "Debugging" in the groff manual.

To test this for yourself you can use the following command: 

     LANG=C MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -l manpage-file >/dev/null

Severity: normal, Certainty: certain

The package names link to the relevant maintainer page and the corresponding report for the source package. The links go to the full maintainer report page, which includes info and experimental tags and overridden tags, rather than the default page that shows only errors and warnings.
