************************************************************************ * Official mandoc TODO. May not be quite up to date. * $Id: TODO,v 1.29 2010/07/18 18:04:25 kristaps Exp $ ************************************************************************ ************************************************************************ * missing features ************************************************************************ - explicit blocks with missing end macro should be implicitely closed at the end of the enclosing block, e.g. .Bl It (El) Sh reminded by stsp@ in net/pptp pptp.8 Fri, 23 Apr 2010 20:32:39 +0200 - fix bad block nesting involving multiple identical explicit blocks see the OpenBSD mdoc_macro.c 1.47 commit message - .Bl -column .Xo support is missing ultimate goal: restore .Xr and .Dv to lib/libc/compat-43/sigvec.3 lib/libc/gen/signal.3 lib/libc/sys/sigaction.2 - edge case: decide how to deal with blk_full bad nesting, e.g. .Sh .Nm .Bk .Nm .Ek .Sh found by jmc@ in ssh-keygen(1) from jmc@ Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:10:32 +0100 - auto-Bk in the SYNOPSIS patch from kristaps@ Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:51:24 +0200 to be revisited after OpenBSD 4.8 tree unlock - implement \\ in plain text, identical to \e as a macro argument, identical to \ i.e. escaping the next character We do not have macro definitions yet; if we implement them, \\ must behave in a macro def like in a macro argument, and when using the macro, it must expand yet again. - implement \s (physical font size) \sN - set to N \s+N - increment by N, 1 <= N <= 8 \s-N - decrement by N, 1 <= N <= 8 \s0 - restore previous size \s(nn \s+-(nn \s'+-nn' \s+-'nn' \s[+-nn] \s+-[nn] - disambiguate registers: .s .ps .sr .psr used by e.g. cu(1), tip(1) - look at bsd.lv tbl(1) from kristaps@ Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:10:53 +0200 also look at the mail from Thomas Klausner wiz at NetBSD on Wed, 2 Jun 2010 11:01:29 +0200 - look at pages generated from reStructeredText, e.g. devel/mercurial hg(1) These are a weird mixture of man(7) and custom autogenerated low-level roff stuff. Figure out to what extent we can cope. noted by stsp@ Sat, 24 Apr 2010 09:17:55 +0200 reminded by nicm@ Mon, 3 May 2010 09:52:41 +0100 - implement blank `Bl -column', such as .Bl -column .It foo Ta bar .El - explicitly disallow nested `Bl -column', which would clobber internal flags defined for struct mdoc_macro - set a meaningful default if no `Bl' list type is assigned - have a blank `It' head for `Bl -tag' not puke - ignore horrendous m[] font colouring reported by J.C. Roberts - prohibit `Nm' from having non-text HEAD children (e.g., NetBSD mDNSShared/dns-sd.1) (mdoc_html.c and mdoc_term.c `Nm' handlers can be slightly simplified) ************************************************************************ * formatting issues: ugly output ************************************************************************ - perl(1) SYNOPSIS looks bad; reported by deraadt@ 1) man(7) seems to need SYNOPSIS .Nm blocks, too - empty phrases in .Bl column produce too few blanks try e.g. .Bl -column It Ta Ta reported by millert Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:13:46 -0400 - .Pp before and after .Sh (and .Ss) produces a spurious blank line; reported by jmc@ Thu, 15 Jul 2010 23:00:28 +0100 ************************************************************************ * formatting issues: gratuitious differences ************************************************************************ - none reported right now (yet schwarze@ knows of some) ************************************************************************ * performance issues ************************************************************************ Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even faster. These are - improve hashing mechanism for macros (quite important: performance) - improve hashing mechanism for characters (not as important) ************************************************************************ * structural issues ************************************************************************
