Dear Maintainer,

here are some remarks and an editorial fix for the manual.

The patch is in the attachment.

-.-

The difference between the formatted outputs can be seen with:

  nroff -man <file1> > <out1>
  nroff -man <file2> > <out2>
  diff -u <out1> <out2>

and for groff, using

"printf '%s\n%s\n' '.kern 0' '.ss 12 0' | groff -man -Z - "

instead of "nroff -man"

  Add the option "-t", if the file contains a table.

  Read the output of "diff -u" with "less -R" or similar.

-.-.

  If "man" (man-db) is used to check the manual for warnings,
the following must be set:

  The option "-warnings=w"

  The environmental variable:

export MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes (or any non-empty value)

  or

  (produce only warnings):

export MANROFFOPT="-ww -z"

export MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes (or any non-empty value)

-.-.

Input file is sensors-conf-convert.8

The name of a man page is typeset in bold and the section in roman
(see man-pages(7)).

24:sensors(1), libsensors(3)

-.-.
