This primarily focusses on the <Q>Bl</Q> and <Q>It</Q> macros described in <A |
| |
HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A>. Multi-line column support is now fully compatible with |
| |
groff, as are implicit list entries for columns. Removed manuals.7 in favour of <A |
| |
CLASS="external" HREF="http://manpages.bsd.lv">http://manpages.bsd.lv</A>. The way we |

handle the SYNOPSIS section (see the SYNOPSIS documentation in <A |
| |
HREF="mdoc.7.html#x4d414e55414cx20x535452554354555245">MANUAL STRUCTURE</A>) has also |
| |
been considerably simplified compared to groff's method. Furthermore, the <SPAN |
| |
CLASS="flag">-Owidth=width</SPAN> output option has been added to <SPAN |
| |
CLASS="flag">-Tascii</SPAN> (see <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A>). Lastly, initial |
| |
PostScript output has been added with the <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Tps</SPAN> option to <A |
| |
HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A>. It's brutally simple at the moment: fixed-font, with |
| |
no font decorations. |

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. |

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! |

Rolled back break-at-hyphen. <SPAN CLASS="flag">-DUGLY</SPAN> 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, <SPAN CLASS="nm">mdocml</SPAN> is the focus of two <A |
