2012-08-291) Remove documentation of the groff-1.15 compatibility quirkIngo Schwarze
of suppressing spacing before a third .Xr argument because that quirk was removed in mdoc_macro.c rev. 1.72. 2) Mark the "section" argument to .Xr as (syntactically) optional, but still do not encourage omitting it. The missing .Op was reported by espie@. Wording tweaked by and ok jmc@, ok millert@.

Most of the patch from Arto Jonsson <ajonsson at kapsi dot fi>. jmc@ agrees in principle that .Lk is the right macro to use. While here, update a few broken links, and add missing markup at a few places.

2011-12-02In man(7), when no explicit volume name is given, use the defaultIngo Schwarze
volume name for the respective manual section, just like in mdoc(7). This gives us nicer page headers for cvs(1), lynx(1), tic(1), mkhybrid(8), and many curses(3) manuals. ok kristaps@ To not break compatibility, i wrote a corresponding patch for GNU troff which Werner Lemberg accepted upstream at rev. 1.65 of: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/groff/tmac/an-old.tmac?root=groff
