Thomas, mdocterm(1) only supports the -bullet, -dash, -enum, -hyphen,
-tag and -ohang lists at this moment.

I anticipate having the remaining list types (and -column, which is the
most difficult) in the next few days.  They parse fine in mdoc(3), but I
want the output nice and regular.

It's very much in development -- I wasn't inclined to release until I
had /all/ manuals correctly rendering (less the broken ones), but I'd
rather get moving faster with more eyes.  There's only so many times I
can run it side-by-side with nroff, with the mentioned shell script,
until my old peepers give out.

I'll re-post when I have full support, but in the meantime, the more
patches, eyes, and problem reports, the better!

Thanks,
