Re: [docbook-apps] <sbr/> treatment in <cmdsynopsis>

It appears that sbr was never implemented in manpages/docbook.xsl.  The bug
you are referring to was fixed in the HTML and FO stylesheets.  In
manpages/docbook.xsl, you find:

<xsl:template match="sbr" />

which does nothing.  It should probably be something like:

<xsl:template match="sbr">
  <xsl:text>&#10;.br&#10;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
