- The whatis(1) utility looks for whole words in Nm.

If the file name of a page does not agree with the contents of any

of its Nm macros (e.g. pool(9)), add the file name as an Nm entry

to the mandoc.db as well, such that whatis(1) finds it.

If there is a page with a file name that does not appear as a substring

neither in Nm nor in Nd, the same fix would allow finding that page

with apropos(1) using the file name as a key, as well.

Issue reported by tedu@ Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:15:23 -0400

- 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

Line 145 None known right now.

Line 175 None known right now.

see textproc/mgdiff(1) for nice examples

(3) undefined, just output the character -> perhaps WARNING

- The \t escape sequence is the same as a literal tab, see for example

the ASCII table in hexdump(1) where

.Bl -column \&000_nu \&001_so \&002_st \&003_et \&004_eo

.It \&000\ nul\t001\ soh\t002\ stx\t003\ etx\t004\ eot\t005\ enq

produces

000 nul 001 soh 002 stx 003 etx 004 eot 005 enq

and the example in oldrdist(1)

- look at pages generated from reStructeredText, e.g. devel/mercurial hg(1)

These are a weird mixture of man(7) and custom autogenerated low-level

roff stuff. Figure out to what extent we can cope.

as -width 7n, not -width 11n.

The same applies to .Bl -column column widths;

An easy partial fix would be to just skip the first word if it starts

with a dot, including any following white space, when measuring.

- The \& zero-width character counts as output.

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