.Sh COMPATIBILITY

This section mentions some areas of questionable portability between

implementations of the

.Nm

language.

More incompatibilities exist.

.Pp

.Bl -dash -compact

.It

Do not depend on

.Sx \&SH

.Sx \&SS

to close out a literal context opened with

.Sx \&nf .

This behaviour may not be portable.

.It

troff suppresses a newline before

.Sq \(aq

macro output; in mandoc, it is an alias for the standard

.Sq \&.

control character.

.It

In page header lines, GNU troff versions up to and including 1.21

only print

.Ar volume

names explicitly specified in the

.Sx \&TH

macro; mandoc and newer groff print the default volume name

corresponding to the

.Ar section

number when no

.Ar volume

is given, like in

.Xr mdoc 7 .

.El

.Pp

The

.Sx EE ,

.Sx EX ,

.Sx OP ,

.Sx UE ,

and

.Sx UR

macros are part of the GNU extended

.Nm

macro set, and may not be portable to non-GNU troff implementations.
