+ DESCRIPTION -+ -- mdocml is a suite of tools compiling “-mdoc”, the roff macro package - of choice for BSD manual pages, and “-man”, the predominant historical package for UNIX - manuals. The mission of mdocml is to deprecate groff, the GNU roff implementation, for +
+ mdocml is a suite of tools compiling + Why? groff amounts to over 5 MB of source code, most of which is C++ and all of which is GPL. 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 core of mdocml is composed of the libmdoc and libman - validating compiler libraries. Both are simple, fast libraries operating on memory buffers, so they may - be used for a variety of front-ends (terminal-based, CGI and so on). The primary front-end is - mandoc, which formats manuals for display on the terminal. - - |

07-04-2010 | ++ mdocml has been linked to the OpenBSD build. This + version incorporates many small changes, mostly from patches by OpenBSD, + allowing crufty manuals to slip by with warnings instead of erroring-out. Some + subtle semantic issues, such as punctuation scope, have also been fixed. + Lastly, some issues with -Thtml have been fixed, which + prompted an update to the online manual pages style + layout.
