\\ must behave in a macro def like in a macro argument,

and when using the macro, it must expand yet again.

- look at bsd.lv tbl(1)

- implement basic non-parametric .de to support e.g. sox(1)

- port OpenBSD tbl integration bsd.lv, probably cleaning it up

- look at pages generated from reStructeredText, e.g. devel/mercurial hg(1)

These are a weird mixture of man(7) and custom autogenerated low-level

roff stuff. Figure out to what extent we can cope.

- allow `Qq', `Dq', `Sq', `Aq', `Bq' to have 0 arguments

noted by Alex Kozlov 08/06/10 23:05

- Have `Sh', `It', `Ss' and others complain if `Pp' is invoked prior to

close (in the post validation) or prior to open (pre). This noted by

jmc@ a thousand years ago.

to better distinguish the contents of .%T and .%J,

see for example OpenBSD cat(1)

- .It ${name Ns [ selector ] Ns }

should be "${name[selector]}" not "${name [selector]}"

This is parsed as

text("${name") text("[") Ns() text(selector)...

Opening punctuation should not fall out of .Ns.

see for example OpenBSD csh(1)

- In .Bl -bullet, the groff bullet is "+\b+\bo\bo", the mandoc bullet

is just "o\bo".

see for example OpenBSD ksh(1)

- .No text No ) is "text )", not "text)"

see the terrible example

case word in [[(] pattern [| pattern] ... ) list ;; ] ... esac

in OpenBSD ksh(1)

- .Sm should *not* produce as a blank line in .Bd -literal

see for example "Brace expansion" in OpenBSD ksh(1)

- The characters "|" and "\*(Ba" should never be bold,

not even in the middle of a word, e.g. ".Cm b\*(Bac" in

"mknod [-m mode] name b|c major minor"

Line 134

Line 136

In -unfilled, tabs are 5 spaces, just like in -filled and -ragged.

See the CCDF_* display in OpenBSD ccdconfig(8).

- In .Bd -unfilled, .Pp should produce one blank line, not two;

see the ccd.conf display in OpenBSD ccdconfig(8).

- .Nx 1.0a

should be "NetBSD 1.0A", not "NetBSD 1.0a",

see OpenBSD ccdconfig(8).

Line 144

Line 143

- In .Bl -tag, if a tag exceeds the right margin and must be continued

on the next line, it must be indented by -width, not width+1;

see "rule block|pass" in OpenBSD ifconfig(8).

- The \& zero-width character counts as output.

That is, when it is alone on a line between two .Pp,

we want three blank lines, not two as in mandoc.
