- the roff parser doesn't tolerate additional characters between |
|
a macro and the \} terminating a conditional block, e.g. |
|
.if n \{ |

.br \} |

*** sox(1) still doesn't work, tbl(1) errors need investigation |

joerg@ has patches for this somewhere... |
|
|
|
|
- clean up escape sequence handling, creating three classes: |
|
(1) fully implemented, or parsed and ignored without loss of content |
|
(2) unimplemented, potentially causing loss of content |
|
or serious mangling of formatting (e.g. \n) -> ERROR |
|
see textproc/mgdiff(1) for nice examples |
|
(3) undefined, just output the character -> perhaps WARNING |
|
|
|
- port OpenBSD tbl integration bsd.lv, probably cleaning it up |
|

- .%T should be quoted, not underlined, when .%J is also present, |
- .Rv (and probably .Ex) print different text if an `Nm' has been named |
to better distinguish the contents of .%T and .%J, |

see for example OpenBSD cat(1) |
that this exists in the wild, but it's still an error. |
