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 mdoc(7) to man(7) converter,
+ to be called as mandoc -Tman
, is now fully functional.
+
+ The mandoc(1) utility now supports the -Ios
(default operating system)
+ input option, and the -Tutf8
output mode now actually works.
+
+ The mandocdb(8) utility no longer truncates existing databases when starting to build new ones, + but only replaces them when the build actually succeeds. +
++ The man(7) parser now supports the PD macro (paragraph distance), + and (for GNU man-ext compatibility only) EX (example block) and EE (example end). + Plus several bugfixes regarding indentation, line breaks, and vertical spacing, + and regarding RS following TP. +
++ The roff(7) parser now supports the \f(BI (bold+italic) font escape, + the \z (zero cursor advance) escape and the cc (change control character) + and it (input line trap) requests. + Plus bugfixes regarding the \t (tab) escape, nested escape sequences, and conditional requests. +
++ In mdoc(7), several bugs were fixed related to UTF-8 output of quoting enclosures, + delimiter handling, list indentation and horizontal and vertical spacing, + formatting of the Lk, %U, and %C macros, + plus some bugfixes related to the handling of syntax errors like badly nested font blocks, + stray Ta macros outside column lists, unterminated It Xo blocks, + and non-text children of Nm blocks. +
++ In tbl(7), the width of horizontal spans and the vertical spacing around tables was corrected, + and in man(7) files, a crash was fixed that was triggered by some particular unclosed T{ macros. +
+
+ For mandoc developers, we now provide a tbl(3) library manual and gmdiff
,
+ a very small, very simplistic groff-versus-mandoc output comparison tool.
