*	add about 15 missing character escape sequences found in groff_char(7);	Ingo Schwarze	2017-06-02	1	-4/+24
\| \| \| \|	triggered by multimedia/mkvtoolnix mkvmerge(1) using \(S2
*	Delete the -T xhtml command line option.	Ingo Schwarze	2017-05-17	1	-3/+1
\| \| \| \| \|	It has been obsolete for more than two years. Use -T html.

*	Recommend an unambiguous escape for minus signs instead of \-.	Ingo Schwarze	2015-09-02	1	-5/+5
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Historically, \- was used in troff for three cases: flags/pathnames, en dashes, and minus signs. mandoc_char(7) currently recommends it for minus signs, recommends \(en for en dashes, and doesn't mention flags/pathnames. In the old days, nroff rendered \- as ASCII '-', and troff rendered it as en dash/minus (which were visually indistinguishable). In Unicode, en dashes and minus signs are semantically distinct and encoded differently (U+2013 for en dash, U+2212 for minus), and often rendered differently too. Meanwhile ASCII '-' has been renamed "hyphen-minus" and fonts typically render it closest to a hyphen, not a minus. There is very little consistency across roff implementations and output formats for what Unicode character \- corresponds to. So at least for minus signs, change the recommendation to the unambiguous \(mi escape. from bentley@, ok jmc@ (after reams of discussion)

\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	~, `, and ' get translated to non-ASCII characters by most troff implementations when generating PostScript/PDF output. When the original ASCII character is meant, it needs to be manually escaped. Patch from bentley@.

*	Rework the documentation of Spaces, using the Ossanna/Kernighan/Ritter	Ingo Schwarze	2013-12-26	1	-20/+20
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Heirloom Nroff/Troff User's Manual at the authoritative reference. Part of our text was outright wrong. Also, refrain from advertising the paddable non-breaking space `\~' in the DESCRIPTION, for three reasons: For nroff mode, -Tascii, and fixed width fonts in general, it makes no difference, so keep the discussion simple. Compared to `\ ', '\~' is of questionable portability. And if you want to keep words together, it is also more usual that you don't want padding to intervene either. Finally, drop the `\c' escape sequence (interrupt text processing) which is not a special character but an input processing instruction akin to the \<newline> escape sequence.
*	Document the alternative syntax \C'uXXXX' for Unicode characters.	Ingo Schwarze	2013-12-22	1	-3/+3

\| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Don't use it in new manuals, it is inherently non-portable, but we need it for backward-compatibility with existing manuals, for example in Xenocara driver pages. ok kristaps@ jmc@ and tested by Matthieu Herrb (matthieu at openbsd dot org)
