--- missing tbl features -----------------------------------------------

- look at the POSIX manuals in the books/man-pages-posix port,

they use some unsupported tbl(7) features.

- implement basic non-parametric .de to support e.g. sox(1)

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

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

- makewhatis(8) for preformatted pages:

parse the section number from the header line

and compare to the section number from the directory name

- Does makewhatis(8) detect missing NAME sections, missing names,

and missing descriptions in all the file formats?

- 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

- look at pages generated from Texinfo source by yat2m, e.g. security/gnupg

First impression is not that bad.

- look at pages generated by pandoc; see

https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/blob/master/src/Text/Pandoc/Writers/Man.hs

porting planned by kili@ Thu, 19 Jun 2014 19:46:28 +0200

--- PDF issues ---------------------------------------------------------

- PDF output doesn't use a monospaced font for .Bd -literal

Example: "mandoc -Tpdf afterboot.8 > output.pdf && pdfviewer output.pdf".

Search the text "Routing tables".

Also check what PostScript mode does when fixing this.

- Consider creating some views that will make the database more

readable from the sqlite3 shell. Consider using them to

abstract from the database structure, too.
