+ 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. - - |

+ Release consisting of the results from the m2k10 hackathon and up-merge from
+ OpenBSD. This requires a significant note of thanks to Ingo Schwarze (OpenBSD)
+ and Joerg Sonnenberger (NetBSD) for their hard work, and again to Joerg for
+ hosting m2k10. Highlights (mostly cribbed from Ingo's m2k10 report) follow in
+ no particular order:
+

+
13-05-2010 | +
+ Fixed handling of \*(Baescape. Backed out -fno-ign-chars (pointless complexity). Fixed erroneous + breaking of literal lines. Fixed SYNOPSIS breaking lines before non-initial + macros. Changed default section ordering. Most importantly, the framework for + end-of-sentence double-spacing is in place, now implemented for the + end-of-sentence, end-of-linerule. This is a stable roll-back point + before the mandoc hackathon in Rostock! + Version: 1.9.25. + |
+
09-05-2010 | +
+ Rolled back break-at-hyphen. -DUGLY is now the
+ default (no feature splits!). Free-form text is not de-chunked any more: lines
+ are passed whole-sale into the front-end, including whitespace. Added mailing
+ lists. Lastly, mdocml is the focus of two Google Summer of Code
+ projects this year: mandoc -Tps+ (NetBSD) and BSD-licensed + Text-Processing Tools(FreeBSD). + Version: 1.9.24. + |
+
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. Version: 1.9.23. + | +
