What for? so you could tell me that you don't use the particular
utility described by that man page, and thus the problem doesn't exist
for you? My time is too valuable to waste it on such futile searches.
Anyway, here's one such man page: "man ascii".
It's quite clear by now that you think what you wrote is the best man
page browser since the sliced bread, and that nothing will change your
mind.

If you really care, you can find them yourself: every man page whose
first line begins with the string '\" followed by one or more letters
means that some preprocessor needs to be invoked before formatting
that page. For example, a man page that begins with
'\" t
should be preprocessed with `tbl'.
As for other features, search for any directive that starts with a
period and is not one of those that you implemented.
