* during prioritization for man(1), correctly extract the section nameIngo Schwarze2021-09-041-6/+11

* mdoc(7): improve output of .At 32vIngo Schwarze2021-09-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The official designation by AT&T was "UNIX/32V", so use that in the output. That also makes sense because "system/architecture" is a widespread convention to refer to the port of an operating system to a specific architecture, in this case 32V (32bit DEC VAX). The former wording "Version 32V AT&T UNIX" was misleading because 32V is not a version number. Even though UNIX/32V was not officially designated as Version 7 by AT&T, prepend "Version 7" because it was in fact a straightforward port of Version 7 AT&T UNIX. That makes it easier to understand for 21st century readers of manual pages. Suggested by nabijaczleweli at nabijaczleweli dot xyz. Same change as in GNU troff commit 21d30728. OK G dot Branden dot Robinson at gmail dot com (gbranden@ in groff)
* In the fallback code to look for manual pages without using mandoc.db(5),Ingo Schwarze2021-09-041-21/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | accept files "man<one-digit-section>/<name>.<full-section>" in addition to the already supported "man<full-section>/name.[01-9]*". Needed for example on Alpine Linux which puts its Perl manuals into "man3/<name>.3pm" and the POSIX manuals into "man3/<name>.3p". While here, allow the glob(3) at the end of fs_lookup() to add multiple matches to the result set. This improves man -w output and may also help some cases of plain man(1), allowing main() to prioritize properly rather than fs_lookup() picking a random match. Issue reported and patch tested by Soeren Tempel <soeren at soeren hyphen tempel dot net>.
* do not crash when a manpath directory contains a symbolic linkIngo Schwarze2021-08-191-0/+2
| | | | | | that points to a directory rather than to a regular file; bug reported by Lukas Epple <sternenseemann at systemli dot org>, and my patch also tested by him on NixOS

* Support two-character font names (BI, CW, CR, CB, CI)Ingo Schwarze2021-08-1027-84/+174
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in the tbl(7) layout font modifier. Get rid of the TBL_CELL_BOLD and TBL_CELL_ITALIC flags and use the usual ESCAPE_FONT* enum mandoc_esc members from mandoc.h instead, which simplifies and unifies some code. While here, also support CB and CI in roff(7) \f escape sequences and in roff(7) .ft requests for all output modes. Using those is certainly not recommended because portability is limited even with groff, but supporting them makes some existing third-party manual pages look better, in particular in HTML output mode. Bug-compatible with groff as far as i'm aware, except that i consider font names starting with the '\n' (ASCII 0x0a line feed) character so insane that i decided to not support them. Missing feature reported by nabijaczleweli dot xyz in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=992002. I used none of the code from the initial patch submitted by nabijaczleweli, but some of their ideas. Final patch tested by them, too.
* Rename the compile-time configuration variable $HOMEBREWDIR toIngo Schwarze2021-08-073-12/+49

* Support auto-tagging for ".It Va".Ingo Schwarze2021-07-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | This combination is somewhat rare because few libraries expose so many global variables that they need a list to enumerate them, but when the idiom does occur, tagging the variable names is generally useful. For example, this helps awk(1), dc(1), make(1), rc.subr(8), ... Missing feature reported and patch reviewed, tested, and OK'ed by kn@.

* The mandoc(1) manual already mentions that -T man output modeIngo Schwarze2021-07-045-12/+53
| | | | | | | | | | neither supports tbl(7) nor eqn(7) input. If an input file contains such code anyway, tell the user rather than failing an assert(3)ion. Fixing a crash reported by Bjarni Ingi Gislason <bjarniig at rhi dot hi dot is> in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=901636 which the Debian maintainer of mandoc, Michael at Stapelberg dot ch, forwarded to me.

* In terminal output of man(7) documents, stop printing two extra blankIngo Schwarze2021-06-282-10/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | lines before the NAME section and before the page footer. While these blank lines had a long tradition, they didn't really serve any purpose and merely wasted screen real estate. Besides, this makes output from man(7) more similar to output from mdoc(7). This commit keeps mandoc compatible with groff-current, where G. Branden Robinson committed the same change on June 16 (groff commit 2278d6ed).
* add a style message about overlong text lines,Ingo Schwarze2021-06-276-3/+19

* In -W style mode, check .Xr links along the full manpath becauseIngo Schwarze2021-06-024-30/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | that is more useful for validating manuals of non-base software. Nothing changes in -W all mode: by default for -T lint, we still assume we want to check base system conventions, including usually not wanting to link to non-base manual pages. The use case, a partial idea how to handle it, and a preliminary patch was originally presented by kn@, then refined by me. Final patch tested and OK'ed by kn@.

* Cleanup:Ingo Schwarze2021-06-024-53/+57
| | | | | | | | | | 1. Move invalid two-byte sequences after valid ones and make their descriptions easier to understand. 2. Replace the wrong and confusing expression "middle byte" with the correct term "start byte". 3. Add test lines for U+EFFFF and U+F0000. 4. Replace the unhelpful word "strange" with more descriptive terms. Arguably, nothing about this (or maybe everything?) is strange.

* In HTML output, correctly render .Bd -unfilled in proportionally-spacedIngo Schwarze2021-03-303-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | font, rather than with the monospace font appropriate for .Bd -literal. This fixes a minibug reported by anton@. Implemented by no longer relying on the typical browser default of "pre { font-family: monospace }" but instead letting <pre> elements inherit the font family from their parent, then adding an explicit CSS .Li class only for those displays where the manual page author requested it by using the -literal option on the .Bd macro.
* Append .html suffix to temporary files enabling browsers to recognise it.Ingo Schwarze2021-03-303-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Occasionally one might read a manual page in a webbrowser, e.g. "MANPAGER=firefox man -T html jq", however temporary files created for pagers lack file extensions and most web browsers are unable to detect a file's content without it. Special case mandoc(1)'s HTML output format by appending the ".html" suffix to file names such that browsers will actually render HTML as such instead of showing it as plain text. Idea and patch from kn@, with minor help from me.

* Delete a sentence pointing to "the Predefined Strings subsectionIngo Schwarze2020-10-311-5/+0
| | | | | | of the roff(7) manual." Such a subsection does not exist, and i do not see why it should. Predefined strings are an obsolete feature of macro packages, not a feature of the roff language.
* Finally get rid of the "overflow: auto" property of ".Bl-tag > dd"Ingo Schwarze2020-10-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | which has long been know to cause ugly and pointless scroll bars. Matthew Martin <phy1729 at gmail dot com> helpfully explained the following two points to me: 1. What we need to do here is establish a new block formatting context such that the first line of the <dd> content moves down rather than to the right if the preceding <dt> is wide. 2. A comprehensive list of methods to establish block formatting context is available in: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Block_formatting_context In that list, i found that "column-count: 1" does the job. It is part of CSS Multi-column Layout Level 1. While that is still in Working Draft status according to https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/current-work , it is fully supported by all browsers according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/column-count , probably because it was already part of the second draft of this standard almost 20 years ago: WD-css3-multicol-20010118.

* The GNU tbl(1) program contained in the groff package internallyIngo Schwarze2020-10-257-17/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | uses roff(7) tabulator settings to implement tables, and it used to leak the changed tabulator settings from tables to the subsequent roff(7) code. In mandoc/tbl_term.c rev. 1.54 (June 17, 2017), code was added to be bug-compatible with groff. In commit d0e03cf6 (Oct 20, 2020), GNU tbl(1) changed behaviour to save the tabulator settings before starting a table and restore them afterwards. Adjust mandoc for compatibility. Since mandoc implements tables without using roff(7) tabulator settings, saving and restoring tabulator settings is not needed in mandoc. Simply deleting the code that changed tabulator settings by reverting tbl_term.c rev. 1.54 is sufficient in mandoc. Also adjust the desired output of the regression tests to match the new behaviour of both groff and mandoc.
