Your XHTML generator generates invalid XHTML document, making a bunch of browsers complain about it and cut it off. Some browsers (specifically, Firefox), straight up reject rendering those pages. I've noticed that problem on a bunch of `xcb_get_*` pages, but it could be happening elsewhere too. I checked some at random and none of them render properly. This problem persisted for a couple months, or possibly longer, I noticed it it back in April of this year, but it doesn't seem that those pages are updated that often, so I could assume it could've been happening for much much longer. Affected pages: I believe anything under https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man3/*.xhtml, but some examples include https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man3/xcb_get_font_path.3.xhtml, https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man3/xcb_get_window_attributes.3.xhtml and https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man3/xcb_query_tree.3.xhtml I hope it will be resolved in near future, but in the meantime, I'll just stick to manpage viewer on my system. I also mentioned that issue on Fediverse, but my instance has strict authentication rules, so post is not visible. Should be visible from [@]XOrgFoundation[@]floss.social account though!
