Title:
  X.7: Unnecessary escape before "+"; some other corrections to the
  manual

Status in xorg-docs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Software: xorg-docs-core
  Version: 1:1.5-1
  File: X.7
  Patch: Yes

    Warnings from "GROFF_ENCODING=utf8 groff -b -ww -mandoc -z ..."

  groff: X.7: /usr/share/groff/1.20.1/tmac/an-old.tmac:371: backtrace: macro `B'
  <groff: X.7>:714: warning: escape character ignored before `+'

    Some hyphens changed to minus (dash)

    End of sentence punctuation marks (.?) protected with "\&"

    Some tab's width shortened.
   
  #
    Output from "nroff" should (usually) have only the left margin
  adjusted (".ad l").  Otherwise the space between words can be too long.
    
    Output for a manual should (usually) have the right margin ragged
  (".ad l"), as it is not (usually) intended for a book or other
  professional printing medium.
   
  #
    Each sentence should begin in a new line.

  a) The space between sentences is different between formatters.

  b) Changes in one line do then not affect others, and do therefore not
  appear as changed in the output of "diff".
   
  #
    Sometimes a small change in space between a roman and an italic
  character is needed (use ".RI" or ".IR" macros).
   
  #
    Remove spaces at end of lines.
   
  #
    Protect the last full stop (period) in abbreviations or ellipses
  (with \&) if it is not at the end of a sentence.
   
  #
    Protect the full stop (period) at the beginning of text (word) or
  ellipsis.
   
  #
    Protect a single quote (', apostrophe) (with \&) at the start of the
  quoted text.
