>Description:
mandoc in CURRENT (1.13.0) has problems with some - as far I can see - constructs.
Latest mandoc (1.13.3) works fine (for valid output see below):

NAME
       rc - shell

SYNOPSIS
       rc [-deiIlnopsvx] [-c command] [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
       rc is a command interpreter and programming language similar to sh(1).
       It is based on the AT&T Plan 9 shell of the same name.  The shell
       offers a C-like syntax (much more so than the C shell), and a powerful
       mechanism for manipulating variables.  It is reasonably small and
       reasonably fast, especially when compared to contemporary shells.  Its
       use is intended to be interactive, but the language lends itself well
       to scripts.

OPTIONS
       If     is present, commands are executed from the immediately following
              argument.  Any further arguments to rc are placed in Thus:

              prints out

       This flag causes
              rc not to ignore or Thus rc can be made to dump core if sent
              This flag is only useful for debugging rc.

       If the flag is present, then rc will exit if the exit status of a

Update mandoc in base to 1.13.3?
