Title:
  Broken markup in tar.1 manual page

Status in “tar” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  tar.1 has the following error codes in my database of manpage
  glitches:

  C	Broken command synopsis syntax.  This may mean you're using a 
  	construction in the command synopsis other than the standard 
  	[ ] | { }, or it may mean you have running text in the command synopsis
   	section (the latter is not technically an error, but most cases of it
  	are impossible to translate into DocBook markup), or it may mean the 
  	command syntax fails to match the description.

  V	Missing body content in list trips up doclifter and is likely to
  	cause rendering problems in non-troff viewers.  I have been able to fill
  	in what was missing except for what should be under TAR_LONGLINK_100.

  A fix patch is attached.
