We have a man page for lf that we maintain using man macros. We wrap code snippets and monospace verbatim contents within .EX and .EE macros. It seems that debiman inserts <br/> tags before each line when rendering these contents.
For example, we have the following in the man page:
.PP
The following commands/keybindings are provided by default:
.PP
.EX
Unix Windows
cmd open &$OPENER "$f" cmd open &%OPENER% %f%
map e $$EDITOR "$f" map e $%EDITOR% %f%
map i $$PAGER "$f" map i !%PAGER% %f%
map w $$SHELL map w $%SHELL%
.EE
Output of this section is as follows:
<p class="Pp">The following commands/keybindings are provided by default:</p>

<br/>
map w $$SHELL map w $%SHELL%
</pre>
The rendered output currently shows up as follows:
When I tried mandoc myself on my machine, no such extra <br/> tags are inserted:

Is there are reason debiman inserts those extra <br/> tags? If this is working as intended, then is there a workaround to avoid these <br/> tags?
I have looked at other man page hosts and it seems that the arch man page for lf also have these extra <br/> tags. It seems that this behavior is previously reported and it is currently marked as a bug. Arch linux also seems to use mandoc so maybe it could be related.

@stapelberg Extra <br/> tags are not inserted when I run mandoc myself. You can see the output with regular mandoc in my original post. That is executed with mandoc -Ofragment -Thtml lf.1 which I think has the same arguments used in debiman.
It's no problem if you don't have time to look at this. I might take a look at this myself if I find some time.
