* While the HTML standard allows multiple <h1> elements in the sameIngo Schwarze2022-07-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | document, <h1> is intended for top level headers, and most of the sections in a manual page can hardly be considered top-level. It is more usual to use <h1> only for the main title of the document of for the site name. Consequently, move .Sh/.SH from <h1> to <h2> and .Ss/.SS from <h2> to <h3>, freeing <h1> for use by header.html in man.cgi(8). Discussed with Anna Vyalkova <cyber at sysrq dot in>.
* Instead of the custom <div class="manual-text">, use the standardIngo Schwarze2022-07-031-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | HTML <main> element. The benefit is that it has the ARIA landmark role "main" by default. To ease the transition for people using their own CSS file instead of mandoc.css, retain the custom class for now. I had this idea in a discussion with Anna Vyalkova <cyber at sysrq dot in>. Patch from Anna, slightly tweaked by me.
* Improve accessibility of -T html -O toc output by using the <nav> elementIngo Schwarze2022-06-241-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | in the DPUB-ARIA doc-toc role. Patch from Anna Vyalkova <cyber at sysrq dot in> slightly tweaked by me. This is hopefully the start of a collaboration to improve accessibility of Unix manual pages using the WAI-ARIA, HTML-ARIA, and DPUB-ARIA standards. Progress appears to be possible without changing *anything* with respect to the way manual pages are written. Instead, it seems sufficient to properly translate semantic cues already implied by existing mdoc(7) markup into the appropriate HTML elements and ARIA attributes. Overall, the total length of HTML output is likely to increase slightly, but not much.
* If the layout or data of an individual cell in a tbl(7) containsIngo Schwarze2021-09-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | only "_", "-", or "=", requesting a horizontal line to be drawn across the middle of the cell, print <hr/> in that cell in HTML output. That is arguably slightly ugly because HTML 5 regards <hr/> as semantic markup, meaning "thematic break". If somebody knowns a better way to render a horizontal line across the middle of a table cell with pure HTML and CSS, and without implying a specific meaning, please tell me. Missing feature reported by <Oliver dot Corff at email dot de>.
* Support two-character font names (BI, CW, CR, CB, CI)Ingo Schwarze2021-08-101-4/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* In HTML output, avoid printing a newline right after <pre>Ingo Schwarze2020-10-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | and right before </pre> because that resulted in vertical whitespace not requested by the manual page author. Formatting bug reported by Aman Verma <amanraoverma plus vim at gmail dot com> on discuss@.
* In fragment identifiers, use ~%d for ordinal suffixes,Ingo Schwarze2020-04-201-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | and reserve the character '~' for that purpose. Bug found by validator.w3.org in openssl(1), which contains both a tag "tls1_2" and a second instance of a tag "tls1", which also resulted in "tls1_2", causing a clash. Now, the second instance of "tls1" is rendered as "tls1~2" instead, employing the newly reserved '~'.
* Correctly handle non-unique tags even when NODE_ID and NODE_HREF fallIngo Schwarze2020-04-191-33/+39
| | | | apart, NODE_ID occurring earlier than NODE_HREF.
* When a .Tg is attached to a paragraph, attach the permalinkIngo Schwarze2020-04-181-3/+20
| | | | to the first word, or the first few words if they are short.
* Use a separate node->tag attribute rather than abusing the node->stringIngo Schwarze2020-04-081-2/+2
| | | | | attribute for the purpose. No functional change intended. The purpose is to make it possible to later attach tags to text nodes.
* Separate the place to put the <a href> permalink (now markedIngo Schwarze2020-04-071-6/+10
| | | | | | | with NODE_HREF) from the target element of the link (still marked with NODE_ID). In many cases, use this to move the target to the beginning of the paragraph, such that readers don't get dropped into the middle of a sentence.
* Support manual tagging of .Pp, .Bd, .D1, .Dl, .Bl, and .It.Ingo Schwarze2020-04-061-5/+16
| | | | | | In HTML output, improve the logic for writing inside permalinks: skip them when there is no child content or when there is a risk that the children might contain flow content.
* Split tagging into a validation part including prioritizationIngo Schwarze2020-03-131-10/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in tag.{h,c} and {mdoc,man}_validate.c and into a formatting part including command line argument checking in term_tag.{h,c}, html.c, and {mdoc|man}_{term|html}.c. Immediate functional benefits include: * Improved prioritization of automatic tags for .Em and .Sy. * Avoiding bogus automatic tags when .Em, .Fn, or .Sy are explicitly tagged. * Explicit tagging of .Er and .Fl now works in HTML output. * Automatic tagging of .IP and .TP now works in HTML output. But mainly, this patch provides clean earth to build further improvements on. Technical changes: * Main program: Write a tag file for ASCII and UTF-8 output only. * All formatters: There is no more need to delay writing the tags. * mdoc(7)+man(7) formatters: No more need for elaborate syntax tree inspection. * HTML formatter: If available, use the "string" attribute as the tag. * HTML formatter: New function to write permalinks, to reduce code duplication. Style cleanup in the vicinity while here: * mdoc(7) terminal formatter: To set up bold font for children, defer to termp_bold_pre() rather than calling term_fontpush() manually. * mdoc(7) terminal formatter: Garbage collect some duplicate functions. * mdoc(7) HTML formatter: Unify <code> handling, delete redundant functions. * Where possible, use switch statements rather than if cascades. * Get rid of some more Yoda notation. The necessity for such changes was first discussed with kn@, but i didn't bother him with a request to review the resulting -673/+782 line patch.
* The HTML standard does not allow self-closing syntax for non-void elements.Ingo Schwarze2020-02-271-2/+2
| | | | Consequently, write an explicit end tag for <mark> elements.
* Introduce a new mdoc(7) macro .Tg ("tag") to explicitly mark a placeIngo Schwarze2020-01-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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@.
* Do not clear HTML_NOSPACE in print_indent().Ingo Schwarze2019-09-051-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Wrap text and phrasing elements in paragraphs unless alreadyIngo Schwarze2019-09-031-1/+24
| | | | | | | | | contained in flow containers; never put them directly into sections. This helps to format paragraphs with the CSS class selector .Pp. Suggested by bentley@ and also by Colin Watson <cjwatson at debian> via Michael Stapelberg <stapelberg at debian>, see https://github.com/Debian/debiman/issues/116
* Make html_close_paragraph() more versatile, more robust, lessIngo Schwarze2019-09-031-13/+10
| | | | | | | | dependent on individual HTML elements, and simpler: don't just close <p>, <pre>, and <a>, but any element that establishes phrasing context. This doesn't change output for any OpenBSD manual page, but it will allow using this function more safely and at more places in the future.

* In the HTML formatter, assert(3) that no HTML nesting violation occurs.Ingo Schwarze2019-08-291-27/+39
| | | | | | | Tested on the complete manual page trees of Version 7 AT&T UNIX, 4.4BSD-Lite2, POSIX-2013, OpenBSD 2.2 to 6.5 and -current, FreeBSD 10.0 to 12.0, NetBSD 6.1.5 to 8.1, DragonFly 3.8.2 to 5.6.1, and Linux 4.05 to 5.02.

While here, garbage collect redundant enum htmlfont and reduce code duplication in print_text(). Fixing an assertion failure reported by Michael <Stapelberg at Debian> in pmRegisterDerived(3) from libpcp3-dev.
* Reset HTML formatter state, in particular the id_unique hash,Ingo Schwarze2019-03-031-6/+17
| | | | | | | | after processing each manual page, such that the next page starts from a clean state and doesn't continue suffix numbering. Issue found while looking at https://github.com/Debian/debiman/issues/48 which was brought up by Orestis Ioannou <oorestisime at github>.
* Wrap .Sh/.SH sections and .Ss/.SS subsections in HTML <section> elementsIngo Schwarze2019-03-011-0/+1
| | | | | | as recommended for accessibility by the HTML 5 standard. Triggered by a similar, but slightly different suggestion from Laura Morales <lauretas at mail dot com>.
* The .UR and .MT blocks in man(7) are represented by <a> elementsIngo Schwarze2019-01-181-41/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | which establish phrasing context, but they can contain paragraph breaks (which is relevant for terminal formatting, so we can't just change the structure of the syntax tree), which are respresented by <p> elements and cannot occur inside <a>. Fix this by prematurely closing the <a> element in the HTML formatter. This menas that the clickable text in HTML output is shorter than what is represented as the link text in terminal output, but in HTML, it is frankly impossible to have the clickable area of a hyperlink extend across a paragraph break. The difference in presentation is not a major problem, and besides, paragraph breaks inside .UR are rather poor style in the first place. The implementation is quite tricky. Naively closing out the <a> prematurely would result in accessing a stale pointer when later reaching the physical end of the .UR block. So this commit separates visual and structural closing of "struct tag" stack items. Visual closing means that the HTML element is closed but the "struct tag" remains on the stack, to avoid later access to a stale pointer and to avoid closing the same HTML element a second time later. This also needs reference counting of pointers to "struct tag" stack items because often more than one child holds a pointer to the same parent item, and only the outermost child can safely do the physical closing. In the whole corpus of nearly half a million manual pages on man.openbsd.org, this problem occurs in exactly one page: the groff(1) version 1.20.1 manual contained in DragonFly-3.8.2, which contains a formatting error triggering the bug.
* Remove the HTML title= attributes which harmed accessibility andIngo Schwarze2019-01-111-6/+0
| | | | | | | violated the principle of separation of content and presentation. Instead, implement the tooltips purely in CSS. Thanks to John Gardner <gardnerjohng at gmail dot com> for suggesting most of the styling in the new ::before rules.
* Represent mdoc(7) .Pp (and .sp, and some SYNOPSIS and .Rs features)Ingo Schwarze2019-01-071-12/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | by the <p> HTML element and use the html_fillmode() mechanism for .Bd -unfilled, just like it was done for man(7) earlier, finally getting rid both of the horrible <div class="Pp"></div> hack and of the worst HTML syntax violations caused by nested displays. Care is needed because in some situations, paragraphs have to remain open across several subsequent macros, whereas in other situations, they must get closed together with a block containing them. Some implementation details include: * Always close paragraphs before emitting HTML flow content. * Let html_close_paragraph() also close <pre> for extra safety. * Drop the old, now unused function print_paragraph(). * Minor adjustments in the top-level man(7) node formatter for symmetry. * Bugfix: .Ss heads suspend no-fill mode, even though .Ss doesn't end it. * Bugfix: give up on .Op semantic markup for now, see the comment.
* Finally, represent the man(7) .PP and .HP macros by the naturalIngo Schwarze2019-01-061-1/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | choice, which is the <p> HTML element. On top of the previous fill-mode improvements, the key to making this possible is to automatically close the <p> when required: before headers, subsequent paragraphs, lists, indented blocks, synopsis blocks, tbl(7) blocks, and before blocks using no-fill mode. In man(7) documents, represent the .sp request by a blank line in no-fill mode and in the same way as .PP in fill mode.
* Now that the NODE_NOFILL flag in the syntax tree is accurate,Ingo Schwarze2019-01-051-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | use it in the man(7) HTML formatter rather than keeping fill mode state locally, resulting in massive simplification (minus 40 LOC). Move the html_fillmode() state handler function to the html.c module such that both the man(7) and the roff(7) formatter (and in the future, also the mdoc(7) formatter) can use it. Give it a query mode, to be invoked with TOKEN_NONE.
* Yet another round of improvements to manual font selection.Ingo Schwarze2018-12-161-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | Unify handling of \f and .ft. Support \f4 (bold+italic). Support ".ft BI" and ".ft CW" for terminal output. Support the .ft request in HTML output. Reject the bogus fonts \f(C1, \f(C2, \f(C3, and \f(CP. In regress.pl, only strip leading whitespace in math mode.
* Several improvements to escape sequence handling.Ingo Schwarze2018-12-151-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Add the missing special character \_ (underscore). * Partial implementations of \a (leader character) and \E (uninterpreted escape character). * Parse and ignore \r (reverse line feed). * Add a WARNING message about undefined escape sequences. * Add an UNSUPP message about unsupported escape sequences. * Mark \! and \? (transparent throughput) and \O (suppress output) as unsupported. * Treat the various variants of zero-width spaces as one-byte escape sequences rather than as special characters, to avoid defining bogus forms with square brackets. * For special characters with one-byte names, do not define bogus forms with square brackets, except for \[-], which is valid. * In the form with square brackets, undefined special characters do not fall back to printing the name verbatim, not even for one-byte names. * Starting a special character name with a blank is an error. * Undefined escape sequences never abort formatting of the input string, not even in HTML output mode. * Document the newly handled escapes, and a few that were missing. * Regression tests for most of the above.
* HTML syntax audit: render \p as <br/>, not as <div>.Ingo Schwarze2018-12-041-4/+1

* When a font escape appears in the middle of a string,Ingo Schwarze2018-11-231-1/+4
| | | | | make sure it doesn't cause output of bogus whitespace. Fixing a bug reported by Pali dot Rohar at gmail dot com.
* Implement the \f(CW and \f(CR (constant width font) escape sequencesIngo Schwarze2018-10-251-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | for HTML output. Somewhat relevant because pod2man(1) relies on this. Missing feature reported by Pali dot Rohar at gmail dot com. Note that constant width font was already correctly selected before this when required by semantic markup. Only attempting physical markup with the low-level escape sequence was ineffective.
* Add an option -T html -O toc to add a brief table of contents nearIngo Schwarze2018-10-021-0/+2
