+ mdocml is a suite of tools compiling -mdoc, the roff macro package + of choice for BSD manual pages, and -man, the predominant historical package for UNIX + manuals. The mission of mdocml is to deprecate groff, the GNU roff implementation, for displaying -mdoc pages whilst providing token support for -man. -

+

-

+

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

+

-

- The core of mdocml are the libmdoc and libman validating compiler - libraries. Both are simple, fast libraries operating on memory buffers, so they may be used for a - variety of front-ends (terminal-based, CGI and so on). The primary front-end is mandoc, which - formats manuals for display on the terminal. -

- Sources correctly build and install on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Linux operating systems, tested - variously on i386, AMD64, alpha and others. The most current version is @VERSION@, dated @VDATE@. -

+ The mdocml utility is a BSD.lv + Project member. +

- Snapshot source -

+

+ Sources correctly build and install on DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and GNU/Linux operating + systems, tested variously on i386, AMD64, alpha, and others. The most current version is @VERSION@, dated @VDATE@. A full ChangeLog (txt) is written with each release. +

-

- CVS sources are checkedout and snapshotted with version updates. These (and all historical snapshots) - may be found in the /snapshots/ directory. A full ChangeLog is written with each new snapshot. -
