Hi Branden,Do you think I should go further and warn man page authors away from attempting to redefine these macros in their pages?No, I think you should go less and not change the headers and footers so as to inspire the man-page author to correct the deviancy. :-)
The thing is, man-pages authors shouldn't ever consider that redefining macros is their business. It's business of the distribution.
I don't think you need to document that, Branden: it should be obvious.Writing a lot of code on top of every page to hardcode the author's preferences is insane, and I don't think we should warn against it. It's like many US' products, where they need to state for example that contact adhesives should not be used as hair products; I think that's insane. :/
Cheers, Alex
