because we only retain the language for backward compatibility in
the first place. Part of the research done by <G dot Branden dot
Robinson at gmail dot com>, see the list <groff at gnu dot org> for
details.
No change to the following conventions: Consider portable whatever
made it into GNU troff no later than 4.4BSD. For portable extensions,
mention their origin at the end of the description. For non-portable
extensions, for example from man-ext, usually warn earlier, near
the beginning of the description.

starting a new output line, and merely starting a new line of HTML
code isn't sufficient to achieve that. Solve this in the same way
as mdoc_html.c already does it, by printing a <br/> element.

which has a misleading syntax. It was declared obsolete and

Do not add /etc/examples/man.conf for the portable version, though.

Jonathan Gray found it in the "Combined Table of Contents" in Doug
McIlroy's "A Research UNIX Reader", which contains a table of which
edition manuals appeared in, and in both the "Table of Contents"
(page vi) and the body (page 89) of the printed UNIX Programmer's
Manual (June 12, 1972) from bitsavers.

and man-db packages, print the manpath if the -w option is given
without a following name argument.
This quirk has been in man-1.6 since at least man-1.5e (1998)
and in man-db since 2012.
Using this feature in portable software is a dubious idea because the
internal organization of manual page directories varies in about a
dozen respects among operating systems, so even if you get the answer,
there is no portable way to use it for looking up anything inside.
However, Matej Cepl <mcepl at suse dot cz> made me aware that some
software, for example the manual viewing functionality in the newest
editors/neovim code, unwisely relies on this feature anyway.
No objections were raised when this patch was shown on tech@.

the command "man -lw" from dereferencing a NULL pointer.

That line was a bad idea in the first place, it tried to be too clever,
and it failed in different ways on different platforms. Even when it
succeeded, what make(1) considered the default wasn't always useful.
Having a simple and robust default and asking users to override it
when needed is better.

the report from <Andreas dot Kahari at abc dot se> on ports@:
For a symlink, use the first of the following names that is available:
1. In -t mode, the symlink itself (unchanged).
2. When the (unresolved) symlink already resides inside the manpath,
just strip the manpath and use the rest (unchanged).
3. When prefix(es) of the unresolved symlink point to the manpath,
strip the longest such prefix and use the rest (new); this fixes
situations where the manpath or one of its parent directories is a
symlink and at the same time contains symlinks to manual pages.
4. Fall back to the fully resolved symlink, with the manpath stripped
(new); this may for example happen when the command line passes
symlinks from outside the manpath that point to manual pages inside
the manpath, or if manual page trees contain symlinks to symlinks and
not all of them are given on the command line.
The fallback (4) isn't perfect. You can construct symlink spaghetti
in such a way that this algorithm will not enter all manual page
names into the database that a human would be able to deduce. But
i do not expect such spaghetti to actually occur in practice (not
even in ports), and a full fix would require re-implementing
realpath(3) in terms of step-by-step readlink(2) calls, repeating
the complicated algorithm (3) after each step.
While here, also stop using PATH_MAX as the size of a static buffer
in filescan(); on some systems, it can be unreasonably large.
Instead, allocate path strings dynamically.

This bug caused sockets and character special devices to be accepted
as manual pages if they appeared inside manpaths, and
it caused incorrect file names to be entered into the database when
the manpath or one of its parent directories was a symbolic link.
This fixes the issues reported by <Andreas dot Kahari at abc dot se>
on ports@, but additional issues remain when symbolic links are
contained in a manpath that involves another symbolic link.

Do not abuse strstr(3) to check whether one long string starts with
another long string. Instead, use strncmp(3) with the proper length.
In set_basedir(), also reset *basedir in the error brances for extra safety.

as defining a term. Please only use it when automatic tagging does
not work. Manual page authors will not be required to add the new
macro; using it remains optional. HTML output is still rudimentary
in this version and will be polished later.
Thanks to kn@ for reminding me that i have been considering since
BSDCan 2014 whether something like this might be useful. Given
that possibilities of making automatic tagging better are running
out and there are still several situations where automatic tagging
cannot do the job, i think the time is now ripe.
Feedback and no objection from millert@; OK espie@ inoguchi@ kn@.

without an argument, use the empty string, and always concatenate
all arguments, no matter their number.
This allows reducing the number of arguments of mandoc_normdate()
and some other simplifications, at the same time polishing some
error messages by adding the name of the macro in question.

last layout cell that was explicitly specified, properly initialize
the spacing attribute to indicate that the default is to be used.
Failing to do so and leaving the spacing at zero in this case caused
misformatting when another row further down the table had even more
explicitly specified cells.

When both the first and the third column are spans, do not use
the number of columns of the span starting in column two
for the span starting in column zero.
With afl, Jan Schreiber <jes at posteo dot de> found cases where
this caused NULL pointer accesses because too many layout cells
were consumed.
While here, make the code more similar at the three places
that iterate over data cells.

macro, which is usually close to the beginning of the file, right
after the Copyright header comments. But espie@ found horrible
input files in the textproc/fstrcmp port that generate lots of parse
nodes before even getting to the header macro. In some formatters,
comment nodes after some kinds of real content triggered assertions.
So make sure generation of comment nodes stops once real content is
encountered.

which apparently didn't work since the .Pp/<p> reorg.
The new logic is more similar to what the terminal formatter does:
1. Before a node that starts a new mdoc(7) input line,
start a new HTML output line.
2. An empty input line or a .Pp causes an empty output line.
3. Nothing needs to be done at the end of a node.

1. Relax checking to accept function types of the form
"ret_type (fname)(args)" (suggested by Yuri Pankov <yuripv dot net>).
2. Tighten checking to require the closing parenthesis.

I don't think there ever was a reason for doing so.
Besides, there is a discrepacy with respect to the point in the
document affected. That flag controls whitespace at the current
formatting point. But when HTML_BUFFER is in effect, the line break
and indentation is typically inserted one word further to the left.
Anything happening at that point to the left can't reasonably
influence spacing at the different point further to the right.
Among other effects, this change avoids some spurious line breaks
in HTML code at points where they weren't supposed to happen, line
breaks that in some cases caused undesirable, visible whitespace
when the resulting HTML was rendered.

This helps to format paragraphs with the CSS class selector .Pp.
