* Slowly start doing more HTML output tests, in this case for theIngo Schwarze2019-01-051-0/+20
interaction of .nf and .RS, related to man_macro.c rev. 1.106. HTML regression testing is tricky because it is extremely prone to over-testing, i.e. unintentional testing for volatile formatting details which are irrelevant for deciding whether the HTML output is good or bad. Minor changes to the formatter - which is still heavily under development - might result in the necessity to repeatedly adjust many test cases. Then again, HTML syntax rules are so complicated that without regression testing, the risk is simply too high that later changes will re-introduce issues that were already fixed earlier. Let's just try to design the tests very carefully in such a way that the *.out_html files contain nothing that is likely to change, and defer testing in cases where the HTML output is not yet clean enough to allow designing tests in such a way.
