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

- 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 |

- Have `Sh', `It', `Ss' and others complain if `Pp' is invoked prior to |
|
close (in the post validation) or prior to open (pre). This noted by |
|
jmc@ a thousand years ago. |

That is, when it is alone on a line between two .Pp, |

we want three blank lines, not two as in mandoc. |
