 Hi,
 
 I have recently switched to FreeBSD. Although IMHO FreeBSD is very well
 documented, with lots of excellent manual pages, I really missed manual
 pages for devfs.conf and devfs.rules.
 
 So I created them, based on my reading of other manual pages and the
 startup scripts. You can find them at the following URI:
 http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/
 
 I would like to ask for feedback on these manual pages. In particular I
 would like to know what needs to be done to make them suitable for
 submission, and whom I should submit them to when finished, since manual
 pages are not deemed to be part of the documentation set.
 
 Although I've tried to adhere to groff_mdoc(7) and have used other
 manual pages as examples, the lists in the examples in devfs.conf.5 and
 devfs.rules.5 come out mangled when rendering in HTML. Text and
 PostScript look fine. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
