Can you tell more details?  What command you used, with which man
page, and what happened?

Thanks.

When I try displaying the tmux.1 man page with WoMan, it displays this
diagnostics in the echo area:

  WoMan can only format man pages written with the usual ‘-man’ macros

So indeed this man page cannot be displayed correctly with WoMan.
Patches to add support for the more advanced macros are welcome.
