As you keep citing that line from the outdated undeadly article,
here is a side note: Just make that
mandoc /usr/ports/infrastructure/man/man1/dpb.1 | less
Sane defaults the OpenBSD way implies "when given no options, do the
most common, fundamental thing", which for mandoc clearly is "just read
the manual".
With groff, by contrast, you need
nroff -mandoc -Tascii -c /usr/ports/infrastructure/man/man1/dpb.1 | less
or
groff -mandoc -mtty-char -Tascii -P -c \
/usr/ports/infrastructure/man/man1/dpb.1 | less
which doesn't even fit on a line, and when tbl(1) or eqn(1) is
involved, it gets worse and you need pipes.
With mandoc, basically, forget about options, except -Tlint and -Ttree
for debugging the manual source code.
Yours,
Ingo
