+ Testing a new manual page can be challenging. Fortunately
+ there are some tools that can assist in the task. Some of them,
+ like &man.man.1;, do not look in the current directory. It is a
+ good idea to prefix the filename with ./ if
+ the new manual page is in the current directory. An absolute
+ path can also be used.
+ Use &man.mandoc.1;'s linter to check for parsing
+ errors:
+
+ &prompt.user; mandoc -T lint ./mynewmanpage.8
+
+ Use textproc/igor to proofread the
+ manual page:
+
+ &prompt.user; igor ./mynewmanpage.8
+
+ Use &man.man.1; to check the final result of your
+ changes:
+
+ &prompt.user; man ./mynewmanpage.8
+
+ You can use &man.col.1; to filter the output of
+ &man.man.1; and get rid of the backspaces characters before
+ loading the result in your favorite editor for
+ spell checking:
+
+ &prompt.user; man ./mynewmanpage.8 | col -b | vim -R -
