* Fix -man -Thtml formatting after .nf (which has nothing to doIngo Schwarze2017-01-261-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | with "literal", by the way, it means "no fill"): * Use <pre> such that whitespace is preserved. * Preserve lines breaks. * For font alternating macros, avoid node recursion which required scary juggling with the fill state. Instead, simply print the text children directly. Missing feature first noticed by kristaps@ in 2011, the again reported by afresh1@ in 2016, and finally reported here: https://github.com/Debian/debiman/issues/21 , which i only found because of Shane Kerr's comment here: https://plus.google.com/110314300533310775053/posts/H1eaw9Yskoc
* Improve HTML formatting of .Bl -tag.Ingo Schwarze2017-01-251-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, when using the style sheet, put the body on the same line as the head for short heads, or on the next line for long heads, in a way that preserves both correct indentation and correct vertical spacing with and without -compact, and with one or more heads per body (hi, Zaphod) - eight use cases so far - and with and without -tag, and with and without -offset, 32 use cases grand total. Using many ideas from zhuk@, from <David dot Dahlberg at fkie dot fraunhofer dot de>, and from Benny Lofgren <bl dash lists at lofgren dot biz>, and a few of my own. This is an excellent demonstration that CSS is an extremely hostile language, much more trapful and much harder to use than, say, C. When matthew@ reported this in July 2014 (!), it was already a known issue, and i no longer remember for how long. My first serious attempt at fixing it (in November 2015) failed miserably. I'd love to see simplifications of both the generated HTML code and of the style sheet, but without breaking any of the 32 use cases, please.
* Completely delete the buf field of struct html and all the buf*()Ingo Schwarze2017-01-171-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | interfaces. Such a static buffer was a bad idea in the first place, causing unfixable truncation that was only prevented by triggering an assertion failure. Instead, let the small number of remaining users allocate and free their own, temporary dynamic buffers, or for the case of .Xr and .In, pass the original data to be assembled in print_otag().

* POSIX allows PATH_MAX to not be defined, meaning "unlimited".Ingo Schwarze2016-08-021-0/+7
| | | | | | | Found by Aaron M. Ucko <amu at alum dot mit dot edu> on the GNU Hurd, via Bdale Garbee, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=829624 Also add EFTYPE at two places where it was forgotten.
* Autodetect a suitable locale for -Tutf8 mode,Ingo Schwarze2016-07-311-10/+0

| | | | | | | | Put the steering into the roff parser rather than into the mdoc parser such that it works for all macro languages and on both text and macro lines. Line breaks and blank characters generated before and after in-line equations are not perfect yet, but let's do one thing at a time.

* Re-write of eqn(7) parser and MathML output.Kristaps Dzonsons2014-10-101-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | This adds parser-level support for the grammar described by the eqn second-edition technical paper, "Typesetting Mathematics — User's Guide" (Kernighan, Cherry). The reason for this re-write is the grouping rules, which were not possible given the existing implementation. The re-write has also considerably simplified the HTML (and, if it ever is completed, terminal) front-end.
