- implement blank `Bl -column', such as |
|
.Bl -column |
|
.It foo Ta bar |
|
.El |
|
|
- FIXED OpenBSD term.h 1.16 term.c 1.30 mdoc_term.c 1.75 schwarze 23.4.10 |
- explicitly disallow nested `Bl -column', which would clobber internal |
handle tab characters outside literal context, e.g. usb(4) |

- have a blank `It' head for `Bl -tag' not puke |
|
|
|
- ignore horrendous m[] font colouring |
|
reported by J.C. Roberts |
|
|
|
- prohibit `Nm' from having non-text HEAD children |
|
(e.g., NetBSD mDNSShared/dns-sd.1) |
|
(mdoc_html.c and mdoc_term.c `Nm' handlers can be slightly simplified) |

- URGENT, this is making many kernel manuals look bad: |
|
.Ft/.Fn should MAYBE behave in custom section like in SYNOPSIS? |
|
autoconf.9: |
|
.Sh DIRECT CONFIGURATION |
|
.nr nS 1 |
|
.Ft "struct device *" |
|
.Fn config_found_sm "struct device *parent" |
|
groff: |
|

- OpenBSD::PackageName(3p) has "if (block) 90:1" in the parse tree |
Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even faster. These are |
|
|
|
- improve hashing mechanism for macros (quite important: performance) |
|
|
|
- improve hashing mechanism for characters (not as important) |
