Line 38 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

--- missing roff features ----------------------------------------------

- \*(.T prints the device being used,

see groff_char(7) for an example

This is slightly hard because -Tlocale only decides to use ascii or

utf8 when initializing the formatter, so the information is not

yet available to the preprocessor at the parsing stage.

- .ad (adjust margins)

.ad l -- adjust left margin only (flush left)

.ad r -- adjust right margin only (flush right)

- \w'' improve width measurements

would not be very useful without an expression parser, see below

needed for Tcl_NewStringObj(3) via wiz@ Wed, 5 Mar 2014 22:27:43 +0100

Line 169 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 158 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

--- missing man features -----------------------------------------------

- .SY and .YS,

used by many groff manual pages

- preserve punctuation following .ME,

see ditroff(7) for an example

- .TQ tagged paragraph continuation,

see groff_diff(7) for examples

- groff_www(7) .MTO and .URL

These macros were used by the GNU grep(1) man page.

The groff_www(7) manual page itself uses them, too.

Line 197 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 177 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

- support .ds requests inside tbl(7) code,

see tbl(1) for an example

- support mdoc(7) and man(7) macros inside tbl(7) code;

probably requires the parser reorg and letting tbl(7)

use roff_node such that macro sets can mix;

Line 336 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 313 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

* formatting issues: ugly output

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

- .UR can nest inside .TP,

see roff(7) for examples

- revisit empty in-line macros

look at the difference between "Em x Em ." and "Sq x Em ."

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

* warning issues

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

- When a man(1) command returns no result and there was an -S

argument, check the -S argument against the list of valid

architectures and say "Unknown architecture AAA" rather than

"No entry for NNN in the manual" if there is no match.

Requires moving the lists of valid architectures out of

mdoc_validate.c such that they can be used by main.c.

Discussed with jmc@ 10 Aug 2018 19:20:12 +0100.
