- The whatis(1) utility looks for whole words in Nm. |
|
If the file name of a page does not agree with the contents of any |
|
of its Nm macros (e.g. pool(9)), add the file name as an Nm entry |
|
to the mandoc.db as well, such that whatis(1) finds it. |
|
If there is a page with a file name that does not appear as a substring |
|
neither in Nm nor in Nd, the same fix would allow finding that page |
|
with apropos(1) using the file name as a key, as well. |

- Trailing isolated dots lack EOS for some macros. |
- formatting /usr/local/man/man1/latex2man.1 with groff and mandoc |
This cannot use mandoc_eos() because groff only does EOS |
reveals lots of bugs both in groff and mandoc... |
for isolated dots at least in some of these cases. |
