<SPAN CLASS="date">07-06-2010</SPAN>:

Initial <A HREF="tbl.7.html">tbl</A> functionality (see the <Q>TS</Q>, <Q>TE</Q>, and

version 1.10.1

<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

HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> now has built-in support for two troff preprocessors via

<DEL>libroff</DEL>: soelim and tbl.

</P>

<P>

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.

version 1.10.8

</P>

<P>

Release consisting of the results from the m2k10 hackathon and up-merge from OpenBSD.

Significant improvements merged from <A CLASS="external"

This requires a significant note of thanks to Ingo Schwarze (OpenBSD) and Joerg

HREF="http://www.openbsd.org">OpenBSD</A> downstream, including

Sonnenberger (NetBSD) for their hard work, and again to Joerg for hosting m2k10.

Highlights (mostly cribbed from Ingo's m2k10 report) follow in no particular order:

<LI>a <A HREF="roff.3.html">libroff</A> preprocessor in front of <A

<LI>many new <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff</A> components,</LI>

<A HREF="roff.7.html">roff</A> instructions;</LI>

<LI>broken-block handling,</LI>

<LI>end-of-sentence (EOS) detection in free-form and macro lines;</LI>

<LI>overhauled error classifications, and</LI>

<LI>correct handling of tab-separated columnar lists in <SPAN

<LI>cleaned up handling of error conditions.</LI>

CLASS="flag">-mdoc</SPAN>;</LI>

<LI>improved main calling routines to optionally use mmap() for better

performance;</LI>

<LI>cleaned up exiting when invoked as <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Tlint</SPAN> or over

multiple files with <SPAN CLASS="flag">-fign-errors</SPAN>;</LI>

<LI>error and warning message handling re-written to be unified for <A

HREF="roff.3.html">libroff</A>, <A HREF="mdoc.3.html">libmdoc</A>, and <A

HREF="man.3.html">libman</A>;</LI>

<LI>handling of badly-nested explicit-scoped macros;</LI>

<LI>improved free-form text parsing in <A HREF="man.3.html">libman</A> and <A

HREF="mdoc.3.html">libmdoc</A>;</LI>

<LI>significant GNU troff compatibility improvements in <SPAN

CLASS="flag">-Tascii</SPAN>, largely in terms of spacing;</LI>

<LI>a regression framework for making sure the many fragilities of GNU troff

aren't trampled in subsequent work;</LI>

<LI>support for <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Tascii</SPAN> breaking at hyphens

encountered in free-form text;</LI>

<LI>and many more minor fixes and improvements (no really, consult <A

HREF="http://mdocml.bsd.lv/cgi-bin/cvsweb/?cvsroot=mdocml">cvsweb</A> and see

for yourself!).</LI>

</UL>

<P>

Also overhauled the <SPAN CLASS="flag">-Thtml</SPAN> and <SPAN

CLASS="flag">-Txhtml</SPAN> output modes. They now display readable output in arbitrary

browsers, including text-based ones like <A CLASS="external"

HREF="http://lynx.isc.org">lynx</A>. See HTML and XHTML manuals in the <A

HREF="#documentation">DOCUMENTATION</A> section for examples. <SPAN

CLASS="attn">Attention: available style-sheet classes have been considerably

changed!</SPAN> See the <SPAN CLASS="file">example.style.css</SPAN> file for details.

Lastly, <DEL>libmdoc</DEL> and <DEL>libman</DEL> have been

cleaned up and reduced in size and complexity.
