- \\ is now implemented correctly

* when defining strings and macros using .ds and .de

* when parsing roff(7) and man(7) macro arguments

It does not yet work in mdoc(7) macro arguments

because libmdoc does not yet use mandoc_getarg().

Also check what happens in plain text, it must be identical to \e.

- .Bd -centered implies -filled, not -unfilled, which is not

easy to implement; it requires code similar to .ce, which

we don't have either.

Line 172 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 162 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

is not safe, e.g. `.Bl -column .It Pf a b .' gives "ab."

but should give "ab ."

- set a meaningful default if no `Bl' list type is assigned

loc * exist * algo * size * imp ** (already done?)

- have a blank `It' head for `Bl -tag' not puke

loc * exist * algo * size * imp ** (already done?)

- check whether it is correct that `D1' uses INDENT+1;

does it need its own constant?

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

or not (run a manual without `Nm blah' to see this). I'm not sure

that this exists in the wild, but it's still an error.

- In .Bl -bullet, the groff bullet is "+\b+\bo\bo", the mandoc bullet

is just "o\bo". The problem is to not break ps/pdf when fixing.

see for example OpenBSD ksh(1)

loc ** exist ** algo ** size * imp **

- In .Bl -enum -width 0n, groff continues one the same line after

the number, mandoc breaks the line.

- warn about attempts to call non-callable macros

Steffen Nurpmeso Tue, 11 Nov 2014 22:55:16 +0100

Note that formatting is inconsistent in groff.

.Fn Po prints "Po()", .Ar Sh prints "file ..." and no "Sh".

Relatively hard because the relevant code is scattered

all over mdoc_macro.c and all subtly different.

Line 556 Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even fa

Line 538 Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even fa

* structural issues

************************************************************************

- Use libz directly instead of forking gunzip(1).

Suggested by bapt at FreeBSD among others.

- We use the input line number at several places to distinguish

same-line from different-line input. That plainly doesn't work

with user-defined macros, leading to random breakage.

Line 590 Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even fa

Line 575 Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even fa

- Have Mac OSX systems automatically disable -static compilation of the

CGI: -static isn't supported.

************************************************************************

* to improve in the groff_mdoc(7) macros

************************************************************************

- use uname(1) to set doc-default-operating-system at install time
