+ mdocml – mdoc macro compiler

+ DESCRIPTION -+ -- mdocml is a suite of tools compiling “-mdoc”, the roff macro - package for BSD manual pages. The mission of mdocml is to deprecate groff, the GNU roff implementation, for - displaying BSD mdoc pages. - +
+ mdocml is a suite of tools compiling + Why? groff amounts to over 5 MB of source code, most of which is C++ and all of which is GPL. It runs slowly, produces uncertain output, and varies in operation from system to system. mdocml strives to fix this (respectively small, C, ISC-licensed, fast and regular). - + -- The core of mdocml is the libmdoc library, a validating scanner-parser producing - intermediate-form output from -mdoc input. libmdoc is a simple, fast library operating on memory - buffers, so it can be used for a variety of front-ends (terminal-based, CGI and so on). The primary - front-end is mandoc(1), which formats -mdoc manuals for display on the - terminal. - ++ The core of mdocml is composed of the libmdoc, libman, and libroff validating compiler libraries. All + are simple, fast libraries operating on memory buffers, so they may be used for a variety of front-ends + (terminal-based, CGI and so on). The front-end is mandoc, which formats + manuals for display. + -- The mandoc(1) utility is intended to deprecate usage of groff for displaying mdoc manuals on the - terminal. - ++ The mdocml suite is a BSD.lv + Project member. + + |

+ + SOURCES +-- Please submit patches! Although a significant implementation exists, work - remains for the backend library and especially the front-end utilities. See the contact information below to submit patches and bug reports. - - |

The most current version + is @VERSION@, dated @VDATE@. A full ChangeLog (txt) is written with each release. + -- Sources correctly build and install on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Linux operating systems, tested - variously on i386, AMD64, Alpha and others. - ++ Current +-- The most current version is @VERSION@, dated - @VDATE@. - +

07-04-2010 | ++ mdocml has been linked to the OpenBSD build. This + version incorporates many small changes, mostly from patches by OpenBSD, + allowing crufty manuals to slip by with warnings instead of erroring-out. Some + subtle semantic issues, such as punctuation scope, have also been fixed. + Lastly, some issues with -Thtml have been fixed, which + prompted an update to the online manual pages style + layout. Version: 1.9.23. + | +|||||||||||||||||
