this was found by checking man pages with
groff -t -mandoc -Z -wmac -Tutf8 $FILE >/dev/null
In most cases .hN could be replaced with .BR

The missing macro is found via:
roff -t -mandoc -Z -wmac -Tutf8 XAnyEvent.man >/dev/null
To fix the problem the macro is replaced with .RB.

after converting everything to st. man page macros there is
no need to maintain X11 private nroff macros, so remove them.

Same pages use the man page .EX/.EE macro. Replace all occurences
of .De/.Ds with the std. macros to make the code better to maintain.

Replace the home grown macro .ZN with std. macros
from man macro paket. So we can get rid of the
definition an get a clean header.

Having every table cell be a text diversion (T{...T}) was too much for
Solaris tbl to handle, and thus "man XCreateGC" would print the error
/usr/man/man3x11/XCreateGC.3x11: line 402: Too many text block diversions
tbl quits
and not display the table of mask bits or any text in the man page after
that table. Since the #define column doesn't need special handling,
making it not use text diversions brings the table under the tbl limit.

Avoid .TS H and .TH for now as it doesn't alter the output in this case,
and improve the output with mandoc(1).

Two steps: First, expand tabs to 8 spaces in code and structure
listings. Second, make the .Ds used to wrap code listings switch to
constant-width font (CW) rather than numeric font position 1, which
maps to R on most systems.
It is possible some archaic systems won't know what CW is, but the
only risk is that code listings won't look quite right on troff
devices; the PostScript and DVI drivers definitely grok it, so those
important cases are OK.
The purpose of these changes is to get rid of presentation-level
markup so these pages will lift clean to DocBook.
