They are really undefined and, unless anybody finds a justification for them, should be removed from the source.
Example:
{ man -t --warnings XrmPutResource >/dev/null; }
<standard input>:141: warning: macro `ny0' not defined
<standard input>:186: warning: macro `D' not defined
/usr/share/man/man3/XrmPutResource.3.gz 186: warning: macro `D' not defined This warning comes from macro bracket Ds/De of unknown purpose. In particular, Ds expects two parameters but it is called with none. I replace the bracket with the standard bracket EX/EE. Created attachment 49787 [details] [review] fix invalid manual markup successfully fixed at openSUSE Could you please send a patch for review to xorg-devel Eric S. Raymond applied a bunch of patches to the man pages back in 2012 to clean up non-standard usage - are you still seeing this after those landed? -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.
