* Clean up date handling,Ingo Schwarze2011-03-071-25/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | as a first step to get rid of the frequent petty warnings in this area: - always store dates as strings, not as seconds since the Epoch - for input, try the three most common formats everywhere - for unrecognized format, just pass the date though verbatim - when there is no date at all, still use the current date Originally triggered by a one-line patch from Tim van der Molen, <tbvdm at xs4all dot nl>, which is included here. Feedback and OK on manual parts from jmc@. "please check this in" kristaps@
* Add stub for eqn.7 manual and flip it on. Also note COMPATIBILITY issueKristaps Dzonsons2011-02-091-0/+1
| | | | of how we considered .TS (etc.) macros and how the preprocessors do.
* As noticed by deraadt@, it goes without saying that text filesIngo Schwarze2011-01-251-3/+0
| | | | | | on a UNIX system use UNIX conventions, and UNIX tools working on them expect that. ok jmc@
* Better explain roff(7) macro argument quoting;Ingo Schwarze2011-01-241-0/+7
| | | | ok jmc@.
* If the first character of free-form text is whitespace, then a newlineKristaps Dzonsons2011-01-121-0/+3
| | | | shall precede outputted text (surprise!).
* Moved table stuff from roff.7 into the new tbl.7 (suggested by Jason McIntyre).Kristaps Dzonsons2011-01-041-1/+3
| | | | Added cross-links to tbl.7 from other manuals.
* Use `Dl' instead of `D1' for code examples.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-12-291-2/+2
|
* Remove `i' and `r' macro handlers. These macros, originally part of theKristaps Dzonsons2010-12-081-39/+6
| | | | | | | | me package, aren't recognised by "groff -mandoc" so we don't need to do so either. Discussed on tech@ with schwarze@. While at it, remove references to `b' in man.7. As far as I know, this was never supported anyway.
* Add support for `ft' macro found in groff(7). Based on a patch byKristaps Dzonsons2010-12-061-1/+6
| | | | | schwarze@, but without the -T[x]html handling, which structurally does not work. Also add man.7 documentation (not in original patch).
* Remove `Sp', `Vb', and `Ve' (as per schwarze@'s changes in OpenBSD),Kristaps Dzonsons2010-12-051-24/+0
| | | | which are now accomodated for the new libroff modifications.
* sync to OpenBSD:Ingo Schwarze2010-09-261-2/+5
| | | | | | note that IMPLEMENTATION NOTES is not used in OpenBSD add missing comma in "sections 1, 6, & 8 only" below EXIT STATUS below SEE ALSO, add an .Xr to man(1), and from man(7) to mdoc(7)
* Clarified EXIT STATUS sections. Discussed among schwarze@, Thomas, andKristaps Dzonsons2010-09-041-1/+1
| | | | Jason. Patch by Jason.
* Remove overstrike `\o'. This isn't the best solution because we reallyKristaps Dzonsons2010-08-291-0/+2
| | | | | should be printing the contents, but for the time being, this is good enough.
* Move mdoc/man template "The next is for" into the section itself. AddedKristaps Dzonsons2010-08-281-6/+8
| | | | OpenBSD compatibility notes. Based on a patch by Jason McIntyre.
* Strip out `\k' escape.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-08-241-0/+2
|
* Stripping out of `\w' groff escape. Yet another for pod2man...Kristaps Dzonsons2010-08-241-2/+3
|
* Strip out the `\z' escape. This is the first recursive sequence,Kristaps Dzonsons2010-08-241-0/+2
| | | | getting mandoc ready to handle pod2man's complex escapes.
* Sort COMPATIBILITY in mdoc(7) (from schwarze@).Kristaps Dzonsons2010-08-221-10/+25
| | | | Update escape COMPATIBILITY in mdoc(7) and man(7) (ok schwarze@).
* merge from OpenBSD:Ingo Schwarze2010-08-061-4/+2
| | | | | | - HISTORY is interesting even when there are STANDARDS - more precise instructions what to put into AUTHORS - add the version argument to the mdoc(7) .Os macro
* Merge Jason McIntyre's corrections to man.7.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-07-261-24/+21
| | | | "urgle": Jason McIntyre. "This is all ok" schwarze@.
* Added `in' macro support for -man -Tascii. This is not yet supported inKristaps Dzonsons2010-07-221-0/+11
| | | | -Thtml (I'm surprised to note that neither is LITERAL mode).
* sync to OpenBSD:Ingo Schwarze2010-07-191-18/+30
| | | | | | | | | * briefly mention the HISTORY of the man(7) language * update the copyright notice * improve the wording in a few places * fix a couple of typos including two suggestions from J.C. Roberts feedback and ok jmc@, ok sobrado@ and kristaps@
* Note discarding of \m, \M, and \s in COMPATIBILITY sections.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-07-191-0/+3
|
* Removed \s documentation, as we (1) never supported it, and (2) neverKristaps Dzonsons2010-07-191-29/+2
| | | | | | will. Also whack the dot-separator from the embedded man.7 manual.
* Fix which escapes are used to format \".Kristaps Dzonsons2010-07-161-2/+2
|
* Allow bad -man dates to flow verbatim into the front-ends. Noted byKristaps Dzonsons2010-05-261-2/+3
| | | | Ulrich Spoerlein.
* Fix man.7 to include AT and UC in its syntax table.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-05-251-1/+2
|
* Entry for .AT and .UCJoerg Sonnenberger2010-05-171-2/+9
|
* Documented EOS buffered spaces and added `]'.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-05-151-2/+7
|
* Pulled back in mysterious lost le1 <-> eq0 for Sp macro.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-05-141-1/+1
|
* Put the eos-checker into libmandoc.h.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-05-121-0/+6
| | | | Added bits in mdoc.7 and man.7 about EOS spacing.
* End-of-sentence, end-of-line.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-05-121-92/+123
|
* mdoc_atosec -> mdoc_str2sec (consistent with str2 being different from a2).Kristaps Dzonsons2010-05-121-10/+10
| | | | | Changed ordering of sections (EXIT STATUS moved around), argued for by Ulrich Sporlein. Fixed mdoc_str2sec not to use weird structure.
* Adding initial mailing list section to homepage.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-05-081-1/+1
|
* Note that whitespace is really only the space character.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-05-081-0/+1
|
* Strip trailing, unescaped whitespace from free-form, non-literal lines (like ↵Kristaps Dzonsons2010-05-081-4/+7
| | | | groff).
* De-chunking of text removed from parsers. This is a significant change (and ↵Kristaps Dzonsons2010-05-071-5/+0
| | | | | | I don't really like it), but it's what groff does. Distinction of ARGS_PHRASE and ARGS_PPHRASE in backend (not yet used).
* As per Jason McIntyre's heartful urgings, do away with '.' separators ↵Kristaps Dzonsons2010-04-131-133/+2
| | | | | | between logical sections. Change email address to BSD.lv one (this is not an academic project...)
* Removed lingering `Sp' reference (not -man).Kristaps Dzonsons2010-04-051-1/+0
|
* ...finishing last commit message: accept both tabs and spaces between ↵Kristaps Dzonsons2010-03-271-2/+2
| | | | control character and macro text.
* Documentation of apostrophe control character.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-03-271-3/+16
|
* Fixed up some documentation in man.7: only documenting man.7 macros, not ↵Kristaps Dzonsons2010-03-251-45/+49
| | | | related ones (de, Vb, etc.), which aren't technically man. It's an open question as to where these /should/ be documented, however.
* Support for pod2man standard header macros (Vb, Ve, Sp). Based largely on a ↵Kristaps Dzonsons2010-03-231-63/+70
| | | | set of patches by Ingo Schwarze.
* Accomodate (libman) for next-line macros followed by non-text macros `na', ↵Kristaps Dzonsons2010-03-221-7/+15
| | | | | | `sp', and `br'. Based on a patch by Ingo Schwarze.
* Fix white-space issues found by mandoc's better white-space finder.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-01-071-10/+10
| | | | Fixed bogus `\\' escapes in some manuals.
* Enabled -Thtml -mdoc to work with \f (see compat notes in mandoc.1).Kristaps Dzonsons2009-11-161-0/+3
|
* \f escapes appear to work properly for -Thtml -man. Needs more testing.Kristaps Dzonsons2009-11-151-2/+1
|
* Fixed \c support for all input and output modes (documented in mandoc_char.7).Kristaps Dzonsons2009-11-121-8/+0
|
* Deprecated ".i <notext>" support (nobody uses it -- it can be re-added, but ↵Kristaps Dzonsons2009-11-121-4/+11
| | | | adds a bit of complexity that I'd rather avoid).
* Basically re-wrote -Tascii font handling: instead of incrementers forKristaps Dzonsons2009-11-121-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | bold and underline, we use a stack (no cascading, no double-font-mode). Font modes with \f only affect the current stack point, as documented in mdoc.7 and man.7. While -mdoc stacks fonts with embedded macros, -man replaces them (the stack is always size 1). This works for all invocations in supported systems' manual corpora to date. It doesn't support groff's insanity with line-scoped \f as documented in mdoc.7.
