<SPAN CLASS="date">07-01-2011</SPAN>: |

version 1.10.9 |

</P> |

<P> |
|
Many back-end fixes have been implemented: argument handling (quoting), <A |
|
HREF="man.7.html">man</A> improvements, error/warning classes, and many more. |
|
</P> |
|
<P> |
|
Initial <A HREF="tbl.7.html">tbl</A> functionality (see the <Q>TS</Q>, <Q>TE</Q>, and |
|
<Q>T&</Q> macros in the <A HREF="roff.7.html#x5c265453">roff</A> manual) has been |
|
merged from <A CLASS="external" HREF="http://tbl.bsd.lv">tbl.bsd.lv</A>. Output is |
|
still minimal, especially for <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Thtml</SPAN> and <SPAN |
|
CLASS="flag">-Txhtml</SPAN>, but manages to at least display data. This means that <A |
|
HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> now has built-in support for two troff preprocessors via |
|
<DEL>libroff</DEL>: soelim and tbl. |

Significant improvements merged from <A CLASS="external" |
|
HREF="http://www.openbsd.org">OpenBSD</A> downstream, including |
|
</P> |
|
<UL> |
|
<LI>many new <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff</A> components,</LI> |
|
<LI>in-line implementation of troff's soelim,</LI> |
|
<LI>broken-block handling,</LI> |
|
<LI>overhauled error classifications, and</LI> |
|
<LI>cleaned up handling of error conditions.</LI> |
|
</UL> |
|
<P> |
|
Also overhauled the <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Thtml</SPAN> and <SPAN |
|
CLASS="flag">-Txhtml</SPAN> output modes. They now display readable output in arbitrary |
|
browsers, including text-based ones like <A CLASS="external" |
|
HREF="http://lynx.isc.org">lynx</A>. See HTML and XHTML manuals in the <A |
|
HREF="#documentation">DOCUMENTATION</A> section for examples. <SPAN |
|
CLASS="attn">Attention: available style-sheet classes have been considerably |
|
changed!</SPAN> See the <SPAN CLASS="file">example.style.css</SPAN> file for details. |
|
Lastly, <DEL>libmdoc</DEL> and <DEL>libman</DEL> have been |
|
cleaned up and reduced in size and complexity. |
