xx-xx-2011: version 1.11.8 |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
This version features a new, work-in-progress output mode: -<B>Tman</B>. This mode allows a system maintainer to |
|
distribute <A HREF="man.7.html">man</A> media for older systems that may not natively support <A |
|
HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A>, such as old Solaris systems. |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
The <A HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A> and <A HREF="man.7.html">man</A> manuals have been made considerably more readable by |
|
adding <I>MACRO OVERVIEW</I> sections, by moving the gory details of the <I>LANGUAGE SYNTAX</I> to the <A |
|
HREF="roff.7.html">roff</A> manual, and by moving the very technical <I>MACRO SYNTAX</I> sections down to the bottom of |
|
the page. |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
Furthermore, for <A HREF="tbl.7.html">tbl</A>, the -<B>Tascii</B> mode horizontal spacing of tables was rewritten |
|
completely. It is now compatible with <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/" CLASS="external">groff</A>, both |
|
with and without frames and rulers. Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in <A HREF="man.7.html">man</A>, and |
|
several bugs were fixed regarding indentation and alignment. The page headers in <A HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A> are now |
|
nicer for very long titles. |
