- It should be noted that in mandoc, the TBL macros are interpreted as |
|
real roff macros (e.g., `. TS' is ok), while the troff preprocessor |
|
only looks for `.TS' (static string). This should be noted in the |
|
COMPATIBILITY section. The same applies for nascent `.EQ' (as it is |
|
now, `.EN' is processed as a static string). |

- The mdoc(7) parser should handle `\.' as punctuation: |
|
.Ql .if ${VAR} op something \. |
|
should produce |
|
`.if ${VAR} op something'. |
|
not |
|
`.if ${VAR} op something .' |
|
as seen in make(1). |
|
To escape the dot, one would use `\&.'. |

- \. at the start of the line does *not* prevent interpretation |

of the following word as a macro. |
