> By the way, is the man writer supposed to oriented only to reading with `man thisProgram` or also to allow `groff -Tps -mandoc -c`, which I was using to test since it gives the line where something is wrong. It seems a little touchier than the in-terminal reader in general, at least on OS X, and makes a mess of tables in particular, which I suppose are not that uncommon in man pages.

You need to use the -t flag with groff to tell it to use the tbl
preprocessor for tables.
