Also overhauled the <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Thtml</SPAN> and <SPAN |
| version 1.9.25 |
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. |

|
| Fixed handling of <Q>\*(Ba</Q> escape. Backed out <SPAN |
|
| CLASS="flag">-fno-ign-chars</SPAN> (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 |
|
| <Q>end-of-sentence, end-of-line</Q> rule. This is a stable roll-back point |
|
| before the mandoc hackathon in Rostock! |
