Is there a recommended best practice for itemized (but not enumerated) lists? I don't know that my own is widely shared, so I did not make such a change here. But if I were to do so, I would either recast this page's 3-item list into prose or use the indented paragraph macro with a bullet symbol for a tag: .IP \(bu name of server for the RPC program .IP \(bu RPC program number .IP \(bu aliases Of course, .TP \(bu name of server for the RPC program [etc.] would be equivalent. Any advice? >SNIP< rpc.5: ffix * Remove nop argument from HP macros. * Remove nop DT macro. * Replace LP macro with more commonly-used PP macro. The above do not change the output whatsoever (confirmed with -Z). * Use .I macro instead of font escapes, obtaining italic correction.
