Just to say I haven't forgotten.

The format breakage was analysed by Jeff (12 July 2016 23:12) and looks to be internal to the man viewer.

There's still a suggestion surrounding one of the headings to sort (which has gone around in circles;-).

Also I now think I have a sensible idea for the <rev>^@/! examples (i.e. use the Loeliger illustration) - that'd make if 9 in the series (was originally 2).

Plus ensure all comments across V1-4 have been attended to (including yours of 12 July 2016 18:04).
