for centering text spanning multiple tbl(7) columns, correctly account
for the spacing between columns instead of wrongly assuming the default
spacing of 3n.

delete a sentence taking about databases. Having that sentence in
the first place probably was a copy-and-paste mistake when adopting
some text from the makewhatis(8) manual page.

two-value syntax "display: inline flow;" instead. In particular, there
is no need to establish a new block formatting context with "flow-root",
and in fact that's detrimental because it appears to introduce spurious
soft-wrap opportunities.

generated by .Aq Mt and the following email address.

and man(1), without restricting that statement to "man -k".
Suggested by and patch OK'ed by jmc@.
While only apropos(1) and whatis(1) strictly require the database
and while our man(1) implementation can find many manual pages even
when no database is available or when the database is incomplete or
corrupt, it does use the database even without -k whenever possible.
Consequently, this change makes the manual page less confusing.

It feels more natural to me to use -a directly when asking mandoc(1)
to use a pager. The reason that "mandoc -l" does exactly the same
as "mandoc -a" is that "mandoc" is essentially "man -lc", so the -a
implied by -l negates the -c and the -l has no effect because it is
already the default for mandoc(1).
The more usual command for doing the same is "man -l foo.1 bar.1 ..."
but that's off-topic for the mandoc(1) manual page.

because all of the following hold:
* It is an alias for a part of an ancient standard that is no longer important.
* To refer to that old standard, -xpg4.2 is readily available and portable.
* It is unused in OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and NetBSD.
* Groff never supported it.
I agreed with G. Branden Robinson that deleting this from mandoc
is preferable to adding it to groff.

making the mansearch() function easier to read for human auditors.
No functional change on OpenBSD.
As observed by Mark Millard <marklmi at yahoo dot com>, neither the
latest version of POSIX 2008 nor C11 defines what qsort(3) should do
for base == NULL && nmemb == 0.
My impression is it is indeed undefined behaviour because the
standards say that base shall point to an array, NULL does not point
to an array, and while there is special wording saying that compar()
shall not be called if nmemb == 0, i fail to see any similar wording
stating that base shall not be accessed if nmemb == 0.
Consequently, this patch is also likely to improve standard conformance
and portability.

He sent a patch to bugs@, but my patch differs in a minor way.

two character sequence "\_" or "\=", a single or double horizontal
line is supposed to be drawn inside the cell, not joining its
neighbours.
I am not aware of any way to do that with HTML and/or CSS.
Still, it seems closer to the intent of the document author to draw
a horizontal line with <hr/>, even though that line will join the
neighbour cells, rather than printing a literal '_' or '=' character.

Lennart Jablonka <hummsmith42 at gmail dot com> found and reported
this unit conversion bug (misinterpreting AFM units as if they were
en units) when rendering scdoc-generated manuals (which is a low
quality generator, but that's no excuse for mandoc misformatting \h)
on Alpine Linux. Lennart also tested this patch.

running with the -M option or with a MANPATH environment variable
that has neither a leading or trailing ":" nor any "::". If -M or
MANPATH override the configuration file rather than adding to it,
just ignore any "manpath" directives while processing the configuration
file.

For open/openat, if the flags parameter does not contain O_CREAT, the
3rd (variadic) mode_t parameter is irrelevant. Many developers in the past
have passed mode_t (0, 044, 0644, or such), which might lead future people
to copy this broken idiom, and perhaps even believe this parameter has some
meaning or implication or application. Delete them all.
This comes out of a conversation where tb@ noticed that a strange (but
intentional) pledge behaviour is to always knock-out high-bits from
mode_t on a number of system calls as a safety factor, and his bewilderment
that this appeared to be happening against valid modes (at least visually),
but no sorry, they are all irrelevant junk. They could all be 0xdeafbeef.

A comment in the code claimed that the list of spans would be sorted,
but the sorting did not actually work. The layout "LSSS,LLSL" resulted
in the list "0-3, 1-2", whereas the layout "LLSL,LSSS" resulted
in the list "1-2, 0-3". Since sorting serves no purpose, just leave
the list unsorted.

after processing each name given on the command line.
Failure to do so resulted in a memory leak of about 50 kilobytes
per name given on the command line. Since man(1) uses a few
Megabytes of memory anyway and people rarely give hundreds of names
on the command line, this leak did not cause practical problems,
but cleaning up properly is better in any case.

and resetting the internal state to the initial state.
Call this function from the proper place in term_free().
With the way the module is currently used, this does not imply any
functional change, but doing proper cleanup is more robust, makes
it easier during code review to understand what is going on, and
makes it explicit that there is no memory leak.

a user-defined macro. Calls of standard mdoc(7) and man(7) macros
were unaffected, so the effect on OpenBSD manual pages was small,
about 80 Kilobytes grand total for a full run of "makewhatis
/usr/share/man".
Argument expansion contexts for user-defined macros are stored on
a stack that grows as needed if calls of user-defined macros are
nested or recursive. Individual stack entries contain dynamically
allocated arrays of pointers to arguments; these argument arrays
also grow as needed if user-defined macros take more than eight
arguments. The mistake was that argument arrays of already
initialized expansion contexts were leaked rather than reused on
subsequent macro calls.
I found this issue in a systematic hunt for memory leaks after
Michael <Stapelberg at Debian> reported memory exhaustion problems
on the production server manpages.debian.org. This sub-Megabyte
leak is not the cause of Michael's trouble, though, where Gigabytes
of memory are being wasted. We are still investigating whether the
original problem may be related to his supervisor process, which is
written in Go, rather than to mandoc.

reported by Michael <Stapelberg at Debian> in the Linux md(4) manual.
The reason the colwidth[] array is needed is not that it stores widths
different from those in tbl->cols[].width, but that only part of the
columns participate in the comparisons, i.e. only those intersecting
at least one span the still requires width distribution.

For HTML generation, the "mandoc" prerequisite isn't needed anyway
because ${WWW_MANS} already explicitly depends on mandoc.
Issue reported by Sevan Janiyan and Leah Neukirchen.
This is not critical for release because it is only used for
a maintainer target. While here, i also fixed the associated
shell command to use the freshly built mandoc binary rather
than whatever may be in the $PATH.
