- The abort() in bufcat(), html.c, can be triggered via buffmt_includes() |
|
by running -Thtml -Oincludes on a file containing a long .In argument. |
|
Fixing this will probably require reworking the whole bufcat() concept. |

- \\ in high-level macro arguments |
|
Currently, \\ is expanded in two situations: |
|
1) macro and string definition (roff.c setstrn()) |
|
2) macro argument parsing (mandoc.c mandoc_getarg()) |
|
For user defined macros, the second happens in time because of ROFF_REPARSE. |
|
But for standard high-level macros, it only happens after entering the |
|
high level parsers, which is too late because the code doesn't get |
|
back to roff.c roff_res() from that point. Because this requires |
|
distinguishing requests, user-defined macros and standard macros |
|
on the roff_res() level, it is hard to solve without the parser reorg. |

- GNU eqn converts some operators to special characters, for example, |
|
input HYPHEN-MINUS becomes output \(mi, unless it is part of a |
|
quoted word. mandoc(1) only does this when the operator is |
|
surrounded by blanks, not when it is part of an unquoted word. |
|
Also, check whether there are more such cases (e.g., +?). |

Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even faster. These are |
|
|
|
- improve hashing mechanism for macros (quite important: performance) |

find better way to indicate multiple architectures, maybe: |

allow .Dt vgafb 4 "macppc sparc64" |
|
already shown as "Device Drivers Manual (macppc sparc64)" |
|
for apropos, make that "vgafb(4) - macppc # sparc64" instead of "- all" |
|
groff can be made to show multiple arches, too, but it is |

tedious to do the string parsing in roff code... |
