+# priority=6 above the default 5 on the basis that viewing a man page
+# with man is above average sensible.
+#
+# Priority above /usr/lib/mime/packages/groff-base "nroff -mandoc"
+# since "man" has the advantage of running preprocessors such as tbl
+# specified in the man page and so gives better results. Eg on
+# /usr/share/man/man1/gtbl.1.gz (the tbl man page uses tbl). Locale
+# charset handling in man is probably better too.
+#
+# "man -X" is only priority=6 since the gxditview it runs is rather
+# basic and perhaps something more sophisticated could be higher. The
+# X entry is before the tty so the X is preferred under X. (The tty
+# one still works there, in its declared needsterminal.)
+#
+# "-X100" seems to make better output than the default -X 75 dpi.
+# Dunno if that's some font dodginess or matching the X server's
+# advertised screen size resolution or something.
+#
+# "test -e gxditview" because it's in the "groff" package which is
+# only a Suggests of man-db and so may not be available.
