Hello, I find some broken links and highlight problems after invoking: M-x man groff 1. If a reference to another man page starts a line and the previous line has some text, its last word is included in the button. Also, the link follows the whole string. For instance: Introduction, history and further readings: roff(7). Here, the button tries to fetch the man page `readings:roff(7)'. The proposed (and lazy) patch_a doesn't allow references spanning several lines. 2. As the output of the background process is filtered by chunks, if the `SEE ALSO' section is split into several (and I guess this is likely if the section is as big as the one in groff(1)), only the first of them gets highlighted. This doesn't happen in 24.4. It would be necessary to format the buffer only at the end of the process (I don't know how to do it). Additionally (or instead), it might be desirable to extend the highlighted buttons to (what appear to be) references in the whole page, as is done with patch_b. This solves also the issue with man pages in languages other than English, where the `SEE ALSO' section is not recognized by the current `Man-see-also-regexp' and references are not highlighted. 3. There are three highlighted files in the subsection `groff Font Directory'. The last two are only partially highlighted. With patch_c, they are discarded as buttons. As for the first file, the link is broken. When a file ends with a dot, I guess it's more likely it be punctuation rather than part of the file, so patch_c also removes those dots.
