W: nvimpager: groff-message an.tmac:<standard input>:154: warning: tbl preprocessor failed, or it or soelim was not run; table(s) likely not rendered (TE macro called with TW register undefined) [usr/share/man/man1/nvimpager.1.gz:1]
N: 
N:   A manual page provoked warnings or errors from the man program. Here are
N:   some common ones:
N:   
N:   "cannot adjust" or "can't break" are issues with paragraph filling. They
N:   are usually related to long lines. Justifying text on the left hand side
N:   can help with adjustments. Hyphenation can help with breaks.
N:   
N:   For more information, please see "Manipulating Filling and Adjusting" and
N:   "Manipulating Hyphenation" in the Groff manual (see info groff).
N:   
N:   "can't find numbered character" usually means that the input was in a
N:   national legacy encoding. The warning means that some characters were
N:   dropped. Please use escapes such as \[:a] as described on the groff_char
N:   manual page.
N:   
N:   Other common warnings are formatting typos. String arguments to .IP
N:   require quotes. Usually, some text is lost or mangled. See the groff_man
N:   (or groff_mdoc if using mdoc) manual page for details on macros.
N:   
N:   The check for manual pages uses the --warnings option to man to catch
N:   common problems, like a . or a ' at the beginning of a line as literal
N:   text. They are interpreted as Groff commands. Just reformat the paragraph
N:   so the characters are not at the beginning of a line. You can also add a
N:   zero-width space (\&) in front of them.
N:   
N:   Aside from overrides, warnings can be disabled with the .warn directive.
N:   Please see "Debugging" in the Groff manual.
N:   
N:   You can see the warnings yourself by running the command used by Lintian:
N:   
N:       LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 \
N:           man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 -Z <file> >/dev/null
N: 
N:   Please refer to the groff_man(7) manual page and the groff_mdoc(7) manual
N:   page for details.

N: 
N:   Lintian found a spelling error in a manual page. Lintian has a list of
N:   common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary like
N:   a spelling checker does.
N:   
N:   If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help of
N:   gettext (with the help of po4a, for example) or a similar tool, please fix
N:   the error in the translations as well as the English text to avoid making
N:   the translations fuzzy. With gettext, for example, this means you should
N:   also fix the spelling mistake in the corresponding msgids in the *.po
N:   files.
