</P> |

<P> |

The earlier <I>libroff</I>, <I>libmdoc</I>, and <I>libman</I> soup have been merged into |
| |
a single library, <A HREF="mandoc.3.html">libmandoc</A>, which manages all aspects of |
| |
parsing real manuals (from line-handling to <A HREF="tbl.7.html">tbl</A> parsing). |
| |
</P> |
| |
<P> |
| |
Beyond this structural change, initial <A HREF="eqn.7.html">eqn</A> functionality is in |
| |
place. For the time being, this is limited to the recognition of equation blocks; |
| |
future version of <SPAN CLASS="nm">mdocml</SPAN> will expand upon this framework. |
| |
</P> |
| |
<P> |
| |
As usual, many general fixes and improvements have also occured. In particular, a great |
| |
deal of redundancy and superfluous code has been removed with the merging of the backend |
| |
libraries. |

<P CLASS="news"> |
| |
07-01-2011: version 1.10.9 |

</P> |

<P> |
| |
Many back-end fixes have been implemented: argument handling (quoting), <A |
| |
HREF="man.7.html">man</A> improvements, error/warning classes, and many more. |
| |
</P> |
| |
<P> |
| |
Initial <A HREF="tbl.7.html">tbl</A> functionality (see the <Q>TS</Q>, <Q>TE</Q>, and |
| |
<Q>T&</Q> macros in the <A HREF="roff.7.html#x5c265453">roff</A> manual) has been |
| |
merged from <A CLASS="external" HREF="http://tbl.bsd.lv">tbl.bsd.lv</A>. Output is |

still minimal, especially for <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Thtml</SPAN> and <SPAN |

CLASS="flag">-Txhtml</SPAN>, but manages to at least display data. This means that <A |
