[DRE-maint] Bug#895186: asciidoctor: In the manpage backend, URLs change alignment

[Christoph Biedl]

Package: asciidoctor
Version: 1.5.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,



ASCIIPATIENT(1)
===============

NAME
----
asciipatient - In the manpage backend, URLs change alignment


DESCRIPTION
-----------

The *roff output created by the "manpage" backend contains a ".ad l" at
the very beginning, resulting in the text alignment flushed left. It
seems however any inserted URL, expanded into a ".URL" statement, voids
this, formatting subsequent paragraphs as justified.


HOW TO REPEAT
-------------

Run this document through "asciidoctor --backend manpage", then execute
"MANWIDTH=80 man./asciipatient.1". Compare the two "Lorem ipsum"
paragraphs below. They should be formatted identically but are not.
Remove the URL as a demonstration this is the cause of the trouble.
