- .if n .ce in the middle of .TS data |
|
afl case f1/id:000103,sig:06,src:009024+009105,op:splice,rep:2 (jes@) |
|
While roff_parseln() prevents .ce and similar requests in the middle |
|
of a tbl, the guard is no longer effective when the .ce is wrapped |
|
in a roff block, for example a conditional. The resulting assertion |
|
has never been seen in any real-world manual page. |
|
This is too dangerous to fix before release because it requires |
|
reorganizing the very delicate internals of roff_parseln(), |
|
which risks causing more severe bugs. |

- mandoc replaces all ASCII control characters except tab and line feed |
|
with '?' during input. It would be better to replace them with |
|
Unicode escapes in preconv_encode() or somewhere in the vicinity, |
|
such that the already existing better replacement strings show |
|
up in the output. Emulating groff is not desirable: groff replaces |
|
0x00, 0x0b, and 0x0d to 0x1f with the empty string (bad because |
|
that's easy to overlook for the document author), 0x01 with '.' |
|
(very confusing), and passes through 0x02 to 0x08, 0x0c, and 0x7f |
|
raw (bad because that is insecure output). Remember that 0x07 may |
|
need special handling because it is sometimes used for certain |
|
delimiters, so it may need handling *after* roff.c rather than before. |
|
reminded by John Gardner 16 Jun 2020 14:26:28 +1000 |
|
Actually, more ASCII control characters than just 0x07 may need |
|
later handling because they can for example be used in macro names. |
|
So they may need handling after roff(7) processing. |
