Indeed, this is a minor but rather annoying issue, rather widespread
amongst the LaPack manual pages, as shown by

cd lapack-3.2.1/man/manl
for i in *; do
  o=$(sed -n '/^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*  *(/{h;n;/^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*  *(/{x;p;x;p}}' $i)
  [ "$o" ] && {
    echo $i
    echo "$o"
  }
done

However, most of this can be fixed by issuing

sed -i '/^\.TP /{n;/^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*  *(/{:cont;n;/^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*  *(/{i.TQ
bcont}}}' *

in the manl directory.  The obvious remaining offenders are the
[sdcz]larrv.l pages (escaping the sed fix due to their undocumented
MINRGP argument), which are also seriously challenged with respect to
the documentation of their INFO argument.  I attach 4 proof-of-concept
patches to fix up these, but I admit that I've got no idea about what
IINFO is, so take that part of the patches with extra grains of salt.
Also, the INFO documentation generally isn't structured into .TPs in
other functions, but that's less of a problem in the simpler cases.
Still, it would be nice (and probably reasonable to automate) to fix up
those, too.

Of course these manual pages might be automatically generated from the
Fortran source files, in which case fixing the generation process would
be preferred, but I couldn't find any information regarding this.
