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

- horizontal lines in the layout still consume data cells

and can be mixed with actual data on the same table line

- break long text into lines inside cells

net/lftp(1) from jirib via bentley@ Sep 13, 2016

- layout l1 for a column of max text width 3 reduces the following

inter-column spacing for groff, but not for mandoc

net/lftp(1) from jirib via bentley@ Sep 13, 2016

- the "w" layout option is ignored

- the "s" layout column specifier is used for placement of data

- .Lk formatting for long links with line breaks

Franco Fichtner 8 Oct 2013 00:33:42 +0200

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

the number, mandoc breaks the line.

Line 466 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 436 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Probably, this should be fixed somewhere in termp_it_pre(), not sure.

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

- .Nx 1.0a

should be "NetBSD 1.0A", not "NetBSD 1.0a",

see OpenBSD ccdconfig(8).

loc * exist * algo * size * imp **

- In .Bl -tag, if a tag exceeds the right margin and must be continued

on the next line, it must be indented by -width, not width+1;

see "rule block|pass" in OpenBSD ifconfig(8).

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

- When the -width string contains macros, the macros must be rendered

before measuring the width, for example

.Bl -tag -width ".Dv message"

Line 511 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 471 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

* warning issues

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

- provide a way in mandoc(1) to warn about broken .Xr links;

probably cannot be on by default in -Tlint because it needs

to access the manpath and mandoc.db(3) after parsing.

asked for by jmc@ Fri, 4 Dec 2015 22:39:40 +0000

- warn when .Sh or .Ss contain other macros

* documentation issues

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

- dashes, hyphens, and minus signs in manual pages

jmc@ Fri, 28 Mar 2014 07:19:27 +0000

- mark macros as: page structure domain, manual domain, general text domain

is this useful?

Line 559 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 506 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

* performance issues

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

- Why are we using MAP_SHARED, not MAP_PRIVATE for mmap(2)?

from kristaps@ Sat, 09 Aug 2014 13:51:36 +0200

Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even faster. These are

- the PDF file is HUGE: this can be reduced by using relative offsets

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

Line 581 Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even fa

Line 523 Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even fa

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

with user-defined macros, leading to random breakage.

- Is it possible to further simplify ENDBODY_SPACE?

- Find better ways to prevent endless loops

in roff(7) macro and string expansion.

- Finish cleanup of date handling.

- make buffers for parsing functions const

Decide which formats should be recognized where.

christos@ via wiz@ Fri, 18 Dec 2015 17:10:01 +0100

Update both mdoc(7) and man(7) documentation.
