This version features a new, work-in-progress <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> output mode: -<B>Tman</B>. This mode |
|
allows a system maintainer to distribute <A HREF="man.7.html">man</A> media for older systems that may not natively |
|
support <A HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A>, such as old Solaris systems. |
|
The -<B>Ofragment</B> option was added to <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A>'s -<B>Thtml</B> and -<B>Txhtml</B> modes. |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
While adding features, an <A HREF="apropos.1.html">apropos</A> utility has been merged from the mandoc-tools sandbox. |
|
This interfaces with <A HREF="mandocdb.8.html">mandocdb</A> for semantic search of manual content. <A |
|
HREF="apropos.1.html">apropos</A> is different from the traditional <B>apropos</B> primarily in allowing keyword search |
|
(such as for functions, utilities, etc.) and regular expressions. |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
In documentation news, the <A HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A> and <A HREF="man.7.html">man</A> manuals have been made |
|
considerably more readable by adding <I>MACRO OVERVIEW</I> sections, by moving the gory details of the <I>LANGUAGE |
|
SYNTAX</I> to the <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff</A> manual, and by moving the very technical <I>MACRO SYNTAX</I> sections |
|
down to the bottom of the page. |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
Furthermore, for <A HREF="tbl.7.html">tbl</A>, the -<B>Tascii</B> mode horizontal spacing of tables was rewritten |
|
completely. It is now compatible with <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/" CLASS="external">groff</A>, both |
|
with and without frames and rulers. Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in <A HREF="man.7.html">man</A>, and |
|
several bugs were fixed regarding indentation and alignment. The page headers in <A HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A> are now |
|
nicer for very long titles. |
