I love a challenge.

In addition to that, i'm not convinced it's fair to call an accessibility
effort "futile".

True, but on the one hand I don't mind, and on the other, as indicated
by the start of this thread, Alejandro is seriously considering doing so
for the Linux man-pages project, the corpus of which is large

No guarantee, but i might also consider doing it in OpenBSD base.
That corpus is roughly 85% larger than the Linux man pages project.
Of course, i need to find the time, and it requires that no OpenBSD
developers strongly object, but since it does improve accessibility,
i don't really expect that much opposition.

Would you mind disabling the following warning?:



:)



Is that too hard to implement?


Cheers,

Alex

There are a lot of empty UR blocks in the Linux man-pages, and I don't consider that a wrong thing. Also, we use macros in tables, which mandoc(1) doesn't support (yet? never?), but that's not a big issue to the man-pages I maintain. Yet I want to lint the pages with mandoc(1) for other interetsting warnings.
