N: N: "cannot adjust" or "can't break" are trouble with paragraph filling, N: usually related to long lines. Adjustment can be helped by left N: justifying, breaks can be helped with hyphenation, see "Manipulating N: Filling and Adjusting" and "Manipulating Hyphenation" in the manual. N: N: "can't find numbered character" usually means latin1 etc in the input, N: and this warning indicates characters will be missing from the output. N: You can change to escapes like \[:a] described on the groff_char man N: page. N: N: Other warnings are often formatting typos, like missing quotes around N: a string argument to .IP. These are likely to result in lost or N: malformed output. See the groff_man (or groff_mdoc if using mdoc) man N: page for information on macros. N: N: At worst, warning messages can be disabled with the .warn directive, N: see "Debugging" in the groff manual.

N: '-' chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as minus N: signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus signs (U+002D), N: this means for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot cut&paste N: options, nor search for them easily. N: N: '-' must be escaped ('\-') to be interpreted as minus. If you really N: intend a hyphen, write it as '\(hy' to emphasise that fact. See N: groff(7) and especially groff_char(7) for details, and also the thread N: starting with N: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg01481 N: .html N: N: If you use some tool that converts your documentation to groff format, N: it might be possible that this tool converts dashes of any kind to N: groff hyphens, while the safe way of converting dashes is usually to N: convert them to '\-'. N: N: Because this error can occur very often we show only the first 10 N: occurrences for each man page and give the number of suppressed N: occurrences. If you want to see all warnings, run lintian with the N: -d/--debug option. N: W: python-pynxt: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man3/zlib.3.gz 52: warning [p 1, 7.0i]: cannot adjust line
