- check for missing roff escape sequences, implement those that are

trivial even if not usually appearing in manual pages, gracefully

ignore the non-trivial ones, document what they are supposed to do

and what mandoc does instead

loc * exist *** algo *** size ** imp **

- .Bd -centered implies -filled, not -unfilled, which is not

easy to implement; it requires code similar to .ce, which

we don't have either.

Besides, groff has bug causing text right *before* .Bd -centered

to be centered as well.

loc *** exist *** algo ** size ** imp ** (parser reorg would help)

- .Bd -filled should not be the same as .Bd -ragged, but align both

the left and right margin. In groff, it is implemented in terms

of .ad b, which we don't have either. Found in cksum(1).

Line 171 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 145 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

--- missing man features -----------------------------------------------

- .SY and .YS,

used by many groff manual pages

- preserve punctuation following .ME,

see ditroff(7) for an example

- .TQ tagged paragraph continuation,

see groff_diff(7) for examples

- groff_www(7) .MTO and .URL

These macros were used by the GNU grep(1) man page.

The groff_www(7) manual page itself uses them, too.

Line 190 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 155 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

--- missing tbl features -----------------------------------------------

- the "s" layout column specifier is used for placement of data

into columns, but ignored during column width calculations

- support .ds requests inside tbl(7) code,

see tbl(1) for an example

- support mdoc(7) and man(7) macros inside tbl(7) code;

probably requires the parser reorg and letting tbl(7)

use roff_node such that macro sets can mix;

Line 215 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 172 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

- look what Joerg Schilling manual pages use

************************************************************************

- .UR can nest inside .TP,

see roff(7) for examples

- revisit empty in-line macros

look at the difference between "Em x Em ." and "Sq x Em ."

- .IP wants vertical spacing before itself;

currently, it is formatted like .Bl -compact.

Fixing this requires getting rid of the "float"

in the CSS for .Bl-tag first.

Reminded by Pali Rohar 25 Oct 2018 10:10:35 +0200.

- format multiple subsequent .IP as a single list

rather than opening a new list for each item

* warning issues

************************************************************************

- When a man(1) command returns no result and there was an -S

argument, check the -S argument against the list of valid

architectures and say "Unknown architecture AAA" rather than

"No entry for NNN in the manual" if there is no match.

Requires moving the lists of valid architectures out of

mdoc_validate.c such that they can be used by main.c.

Discussed with jmc@ 10 Aug 2018 19:20:12 +0100.
