- The abort() in bufcat(), html.c, can be triggered via buffmt_includes() |

by running -Thtml -Oincludes on a file containing a long .In argument. |

Fixing this will probably require reworking the whole bufcat() concept. |

- When makewhatis(8) encounters a FATAL parse error, |
| |
it silently treats the file as formatted, which makes no sense |
| |
at all for paths like man1/foo.1 - and which also contradicts |

The end result will be ENOENT for file names returned |

That element should rather be outside its scope, such that the |

and document it in mdoc(7) and man(7) COMPATIBILITY |

- trailing whitespace must be ignored even when followed by a font escape, |
| |
see for example |
| |
makes |
| |
\fBdig \fR |
| |
operate in batch mode |
| |
in dig(1). |

- check that MANDOCERR_BADTAB is thrown in the right cases, |
| |
i.e. when finding a literal tab character in fill mode, |
| |
and possibly change the wording of the warning message |
| |
to refer to fill mode, not literal mode |

- warn about "new sentence, new line" |
| |
|
| |
- mandoc_special does not really check the escape sequence, |
| |
but just the overall format |
| |
|
| |
- integrate mdoclint into mandoc ("end-of-line whitespace" thread) |

| - rendering frontend code can calculate widths only for plain strings, |
- We use the input line number at several places to distinguish |
| not for strings containing escape sequences. For example, this |
same-line from different-line input. That plainly doesn't work |
| hinders calculation of the indent required for .Nm \&[ in text(1). |
with user-defined macros, leading to random breakage. |

| - another example of the same problem: |
- Find better ways to prevent endless loops |
| .Bl -tag -width "\eD{format}XX" -compact |
in roff(7) macro and string expansion. |
| in OpenBSD ksh(1) gives the wrong width |
|
| because "\e" is one character in groff, two in mandoc |
- Finish cleanup of date handling. |
| |
Decide which formats should be recognized where. |
| |
Update both mdoc(7) and man(7) documentation. |

- Consider creating some views that will make the database more |
| predefined strings. \*(C+ has already been thrown out. Track these |
readable from the sqlite3 shell. Consider using them to |

| invocations. These are reproduced across most crappy GNU manuals. |

- Sandbox (see OpenSSH). |

- Enable caching support via HTTP 304 and If-Modified-Since. |
| |
- Allow for cgi.h to be overridden by CGI environment variables. |

Otherwise, binary distributions will inherit the compile-time |

behaviour, which is not optimal. |
