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.

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

- .ad (adjust margins)

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

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

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

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

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

- .SY and .YS,

used by many groff manual pages

- .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 194 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 181 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 332 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 316 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 ."
