- \\ 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. |
