<SPAN CLASS="nm">mdocml</SPAN> is in ISO C99 and should build and run on any modern system; however, you'll need <A |

To build and install into <I>/usr/local/</I>, just run <CODE>make install</CODE>. |

Be careful: the <B>preconv</B>, <B>apropos</B>, and <B>whatis</B> binary names are usually taken by existing utilities. |

Version <SPAN CLASS="rev">1.9.20</SPAN>: more efforts to get roff instructions |
|
in -man documents under control. Note that roff instructions embedded in |
|
line-scoped, next-line macros (e.g. <Q>B</Q>) are not supported. Leading |
|
punctuation for -mdoc macros, such as <Q>Fl ( ( a</Q>, are now correctly |

handled. |

Version <SPAN CLASS="rev">1.9.18</SPAN>: many fixes (largely pertaining to |
|
scope) and improvements (e.g., handling of apostrophe-control macros, which |

fixes the strange <Q>BR</Q> seen in some macro output) to handling roff |

instructions in -man documents. |

reports by Ingo Schwarze, allowed <SPAN CLASS="flag">-man</SPAN> to accept |

non-printing elements to be nested within next-line scopes, such as <Q>br</Q> |

within <Q>B</Q> or <Q>TH</Q>, which is valid roff. Longsoon architecture also |
