+ DESCRIPTION -+ -- mdocml is a suite of tools compiling “-mdoc”, the roff macro package - of choice for BSD manual pages, and “-man”, the predominant historical package for UNIX - manuals. The mission of mdocml is to deprecate groff, the GNU roff implementation, for +
+ 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 composed of the libmdoc and libman + + The core of mdocml is composed of the libmdoc and libman validating compiler libraries. Both 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 primary front-end is mandoc, which formats manuals for display on the terminal. - - |

+ Version 1.9.16 highlights: inspired by patches and bug
+ reports by Ingo Schwarze, allowed -man to accept
