Follow-up Comment #4, bug #65585 (group groff):

Hi Deri,
[comment #2 comment #2:]
> Alex is not screaming because the "special sauce" I gave him to create the
kernel book does not use the .MR macro at all, even when the particular man
page calls .MR! Most of them are using .BR name (n). Once he converts them all
to .MR, I'll let him know he can drop my sauce - then you may hear the
gnashing of teeth as well as the screams.

While I'd love to get rid of the magic sauce, I think I'll keep it: I'm using
the same build system to produce books of shadow:
<https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/share/dist/shadow/git/HEAD/shadow-HEAD.pdf>.
 That's produced from .xml sources, so we won't have MR there any soon.

Still, if we can switch the sauce to start using MR when the source uses MR,
it would be good.

BTW, off-topic, but at some point (probably my fault) the page numbers were
broken.  Would you mind checking why that happens?  I wish we can fix it
without undoing the refactors I applied to it.

Have a lovely night!
Alex
