- .if n .ce in the middle of .TS data |
|
afl case f1/id:000103,sig:06,src:009024+009105,op:splice,rep:2 (jes@) |
|
While roff_parseln() prevents .ce and similar requests in the middle |
|
of a tbl, the guard is no longer effective when the .ce is wrapped |
|
in a roff block, for example a conditional. The resulting assertion |
|
has never been seen in any real-world manual page. |
|
This is too dangerous to fix before release because it requires |
|
reorganizing the very delicate internals of roff_parseln(), |
|
which risks causing more severe bugs. |

- .als only works for macros in mandoc, not for user-defined strings. |
|
Also, the "val" field in struct roffkv would have to be replaced |
|
with a pointer to a reference-counted wrapper, and an alias |
|
would have to point to the same wrapper as the original. |
|
.als to undefined does nothing; the alias is not created. |
|
.rm'ing the original leaves the alias to point to the old value. |
|
.de .als .de changes both, but |
|
.de .als .rm .de only changes the new value, not the alias. |

- roff string condition comparisons fail when vars contain quotes: |

.ds s ' |
|
.if '\*s'' \&... |
|
hard to fix because of the basic architecture (string replacement |
|
happens before roff(7) syntax parsing) |

- mandoc replaces all ASCII control characters except tab and line feed |
|
with '?' during input. It would be better to replace them with |
|
Unicode escapes in preconv_encode() or somewhere in the vicinity, |
|
such that the already existing better replacement strings show |
|
up in the output. Emulating groff is not desirable: groff replaces |
|
0x00, 0x0b, and 0x0d to 0x1f with the empty string (bad because |
|
that's easy to overlook for the document author), 0x01 with '.' |
|
(very confusing), and passes through 0x02 to 0x08, 0x0c, and 0x7f |
|
raw (bad because that is insecure output). Remember that 0x07 may |
|
need special handling because it is sometimes used for certain |
|
delimiters, so it may need handling *after* roff.c rather than before. |
|
reminded by John Gardner 16 Jun 2020 14:26:28 +1000 |
|
Actually, more ASCII control characters than just 0x07 may need |
|
later handling because they can for example be used in macro names. |
|
So they may need handling after roff(7) processing. |

This may not be the ideal solution after all: eqn(7) matrices |
loc * exist * algo * size * imp ** |
are lists of columns, so Avi's proposal would show each *column* |
|
on its own *line*, which is likely to cause confusion. |
|
A better solution, but much harder to implement, would be to |
|
actually show the coordinates of column vectors on different |
|
terminal output lines, using the clumnated output facilities |
|
developed for .Bl -tag, .Bl -column, and also used for tbl(7). |
