- 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
- 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)

also look at the mail from Thomas Klausner wiz at NetBSD

- 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.

- 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
************************************************************************
- outside list context, text following .Sm off
seems to follow without a blank (TERM_NOBLANK reset late?) e.g.
.Sm off
.Xo
.Op Ar bind_address No /
.Ar port
.Xc
.Sm on
or by enclosing
reported by jmc Tue, 13 Apr 2010 08:48:14 +0100
- empty phrases in .Bl column produce too few blanks
try e.g. .Bl -column It Ta Ta

************************************************************************
* 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
************************************************************************
- The regs.h functionality and the roff_getstrn() family should be moved
into mandoc.c, which should be accessable by libroff, libmdoc, and
libman. Right now there's pollution between these libraries.
