This primarily focusses on the <Q>Bl</Q> and <Q>It</Q> macros described in <A |

been considerably simplified compared to groff's method. Furthermore, the <SPAN |

CLASS="flag">-Owidth=width</SPAN> output option has been added to <SPAN |

CLASS="flag">-Tascii</SPAN> (see <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A>). Lastly, initial |

PostScript output has been added with the <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Tps</SPAN> option to <A |

no font decorations. |
