Summary: man: synopsis indentation differs from other sections

Initial Comment:
It seems, that the following code-sample results in a
different indentation than in other manpage section
beginnings:

<refsynopsisdiv>
  <synopsis><![CDATA[#include <lib/lib.h>]]></synopsis>
</refsynopsisdiv>

The resulting SYNOPSIS section contains an indented

'#include <lib/lib.h>'

paragraph. But the paragraph begins at the position,
where e.g. the indented <listitem>-part of a
<varlistentry> elements begins:

NAME
       lib - library

SYNOPSIS
          #include <lib/lib.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The lib library ...
...
       term
          listitem-paragraph
       ...

So it breaks the outlay of the whole manpage a bit. Is
this intended behaviour or is it a bug (I would call it
a minor bug).

Regards, Daniel

Hmm. Seems, the formatting was lost. Again the result (with
a '.' per space):

NAME
.......lib - library

SYNOPSIS
..........#include <lib/lib.h>

DESCRIPTION
.......The lib library [..]
.......[..]
.......term
..........listitem-paragraph
.......[..]
