- .TP before .SH is still FATAL in man(7)

reported by brad@ Sat, 15 Jan 2011 15:54:54 -0500

- the roff parser doesn't tolerate additional characters between

a macro and the \} terminating a conditional block, e.g.

.if n \{

.br \}

- \c (interrupted text) occurs in chat(8)

- \f(CW (constant width font) occurs in rsyncd.conf(5).

I think we should treat unknown/unavailable fonts as \fR

such that switching back with \fP works correctly -

and doesn't revert the _previous_ \fP.

--- missing mdoc features ----------------------------------------------

- fix bad block nesting involving multiple identical explicit blocks

Line 121

Line 110

(e.g., NetBSD mDNSShared/dns-sd.1)

(mdoc_html.c and mdoc_term.c `Nm' handlers can be slightly simplified)

- When there is free text in the SYNOPSIS and that free text contains

the .Nm macro, groff somehow understands to treat the .Nm as an in-line

macro, while mandoc treats it as a block macro and breaks the line.

No idea how the logic for distinguishing in-line and block instances

should be, needs investigation.

--- missing man features -----------------------------------------------

- .RS/.RE can be nested, see e.g. the x11/fluxbox manuals

noticed by dcoppa@ Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 04:58:14PM +0200:

- groff an-ext.tmac macros (.UR, .UE) occur in xine(5)

*** sox(1) still doesn't work, tbl(1) errors need investigation

- allow standalone `.' to be interpreted as an end-of-layout

delimiter instead of being thrown away as a no-op roff line

--- missing misc features ----------------------------------------------

- clean up escape sequence handling, creating three classes:

- .Rv (and probably .Ex) print different text if an `Nm' has been named

Line 224

Line 222

Also have `It' complain if `Pp' is invoked at certain times (not

-compact?).

- .Pp between two .It in .Bl -column should produce one,

not two blank lines, see e.g. login.conf(5).

reported by jmc@ Sun, 17 Apr 2011 14:04:58 +0059

- If the *first* line after .It is .Pp, break the line right after

the tag, do not pad with space characters before breaking.

See the description of the a, c, and i commands in sed(1).

Line 276

Line 278

see for example named-checkconf(8).

- In man(7), the sequence

regular text

.RS

.IP

should have a blank line between the text and the beginning of the

indented paragraph, see for example sudo(1).

- In man(7), the sequence

.SH HEADER

.PP

regular text

should not produce any blank lines between the header and the text,

see for example rsync(1).

- In man(7), the sequence

regular text

.PP

.RS

indented text

should produce one blank line between the regular and indented texts,

see for example rsync(1), and

.RE

.RS

should produce two,not one blank lines.
