++ Many back-end fixes have been implemented: argument handling (quoting), man improvements, error/warning classes, and many more. +
+
+ Initial tbl functionality (see the TS
, TE
, and
+ T&
macros in the roff manual) has been
+ merged from tbl.bsd.lv. Output is
+ still minimal, especially for -Thtml and -Txhtml, but manages to at least display data. This means that mandoc now has built-in support for two troff preprocessors via
+ libroff: soelim and tbl.

+ browsers, including text-based ones like lynx. See HTML and XHTML manuals in the DOCUMENTATION section for examples. Attention: available style-sheet classes have been considerably
+ changed! See the example.style.css file for details.
+ Lastly, libmdoc and libman have been
+ cleaned up and reduced in size and complexity.
