The *WoMan-Log* Buffer
**********************

This is modelled on the Emacs byte-compiler.  It logs all files
formatted by WoMan and the time taken.  If WoMan finds anything that it
cannot handle then it writes a warning to this buffer.  If the variable
`woman-show-log' is non-`nil' (by default it is `nil') then WoMan
automatically displays this buffer.  Note: Interface Options.
  Many WoMan warnings can be completely ignored, because they
are reporting the fact that WoMan has ignored requests that it is
correct for WoMan to ignore.  In some future version this level of
paranoia may be reduced, but not until WoMan is deemed more reliable.
At present, all warnings should be treated with some suspicion.
Uninterpreted escape sequences are also logged (in some cases).

By resetting the variable `woman-ignore' to `nil' (by default it is
`t'), uninterpreted `ROFF' requests can optionally be left in the
formatted buffer to indicate precisely where they occurred.  Note:
Interface Options.
