+ Why? groff amounts to over 5 MB of source code, most of which is C++ and GPL version 3. 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).

+ 05-10-2013: version 1.12.2
+ The mdoc(7) to man(7) converter,
+ to be called as mandoc -Tman
, is now fully functional.
+
+
+ The mandoc(1) utility now supports the -Ios
(default operating system)
+ input option, and the -Tutf8
output mode now actually works.
+
+
+ The mandocdb(8) utility no longer truncates existing databases when starting to build new ones,
+ but only replaces them when the build actually succeeds.
+
+
+ The man(7) parser now supports the PD macro (paragraph distance),
+ and (for GNU man-ext compatibility only) EX (example block) and EE (example end).
+ Plus several bugfixes regarding indentation, line breaks, and vertical spacing,
+ and regarding RS following TP.
+
+
+ The roff(7) parser now supports the \f(BI (bold+italic) font escape,
+ the \z (zero cursor advance) escape and the cc (change control character)
+ and it (input line trap) requests.
+ Plus bugfixes regarding the \t (tab) escape, nested escape sequences, and conditional requests.
+
+
+ In mdoc(7), several bugs were fixed related to UTF-8 output of quoting enclosures,
+ delimiter handling, list indentation and horizontal and vertical spacing,
+ formatting of the Lk, %U, and %C macros,
+ plus some bugfixes related to the handling of syntax errors like badly nested font blocks,
+ stray Ta macros outside column lists, unterminated It Xo blocks,
+ and non-text children of Nm blocks.
+
+
+ In tbl(7), the width of horizontal spans and the vertical spacing around tables was corrected,
+ and in man(7) files, a crash was fixed that was triggered by some particular unclosed T{ macros.
+
+
+ For mandoc developers, we now provide a tbl(3) library manual and gmdiff
,
+ a very small, very simplistic groff-versus-mandoc output comparison tool.
+
+
+ 23-03-2012: version 1.12.1
+
+
Significant work on apropos and mandocdb. These tools are
now much more robust.
A whatis implementation is now handled as an apropos mode.
