--- 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.

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

- 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

Line 192

- 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

- formatting /usr/local/man/man1/latex2man.1 with groff and mandoc

reveals lots of bugs both in groff and mandoc...

--- 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.
