* If `Ns' is specified on its own line, it should be ignored. This isKristaps Dzonsons2011-02-021-0/+2
| | | | | shitty groff behaviour. Do the same, but raise a warning to this effect. This from a TODO noted by schwarze@.
* 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@
* Lots of in-line macros require arguments but were not marked as such.Ingo Schwarze2011-01-221-9/+9
| | | | Check prompted by kristaps@.
* 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 Dzonsons2011-01-041-0/+3
| | | | Added cross-links to tbl.7 from other manuals.
* In mdoc.7, don't use `D1' in place of `Dl' for code examples.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-12-291-92/+92

* Note `Sx's connection to `Sh' and `Ss'.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-12-271-0/+5

* minor tweaks:Ingo Schwarze2010-12-221-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | 1. improve .Bl wording (from jmc@) 2. jmc@ noted that the .Mt default (the same as in groff) makes no sense, and there is no better default we could use; thus, regard it as implementation dependent and do not document it 3. fix formatting of one COMPATIBILITY note: move "and" out of .Sx ok kristaps@, jmc@
* Sync to OpenBSD: More precise description of .Xo, and don't talkIngo Schwarze2010-12-181-3/+7
| | | | | | | | about deprecation, because there are cases were choosing .Xo or backslash line continuation is merely a matter of taste, not a difference in readability, and well-used .Xo is even slightly more portable. OK jmc@
* Import changes by schwarze@ and Jason McIntyre into manuals. These areKristaps Dzonsons2010-12-061-9/+4
| | | | | | | | | | for the new libroff macros, the new libman macros, and for the sake of general clarity. Note that `ft' documentation is NOT included, as I've kept it in -man: it's highly confusing to have it in roff.7 when it's not implemented for both -man and -mdoc, as at least in theory, roff.7 should include only macros recognised by BOTH formats.
* Merge schwarze@'s changes allowing nested displays. Tweak the patch byKristaps Dzonsons2010-12-051-0/+5
| | | | | | | making sure output doesn't add a superfluous newline with the nested displays. Also add a COMPATIBILITY note. Rename a macro (DATESIZ) to be in line with OpenBSD (DATESIZE).
* Restore the Id tag that i clobbered in my previous commit,Ingo Schwarze2010-11-301-1/+1
| | | | as pointed out by kristaps@. Sorry!
* Merge OpenBSD mdoc.7 rev. 1.56 and 1.57:Ingo Schwarze2010-11-301-15/+25
| | | | | | | | Define the terms "callable" and "parsed" with more precision. Be more specific about what .Xo can be used for. Be more specific about what "historic groff" refers to. Explicitely mention the nine argument limit below COMPATIBILITY. feedback and ok jmc@
* Migrate `Nm' and `Pa' handling from mdoc_action.c into mdoc_validate.c.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-11-291-0/+3
| | | | Document that `Pa' is replaced by a tilde, just like `Mt'.
* Move `Mt', `Ar', and `Li' handling from mdoc_action.c into mdoc_validate.c.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-11-291-0/+3
| | | | | | | | Clarify that `Mt' gets a default `~' (as per groff 1.20) and document it in mdoc.7. Made `Lk' be removed in mdoc_macro.c if it has no arguments. This fixes segfaults in mdoc_{term,html}.c that nobody's managed to raise yet.
* Referring to terms explained in other manuals, always use .Xr.Ingo Schwarze2010-10-291-2/+2
| | | | | | Otherwise, hyperlinks can't be produced and people will likely miss the additional information available. Suggested by deraadt@.
* When mentioning a function documented elsewhere, .Xr is often better than .Fn.Ingo Schwarze2010-10-241-0/+3
| | | | Prodded by guenther@, ok jmc@.
* Suppress whitespace following Pp, Lp, sp, and the other newline-emittingKristaps Dzonsons2010-09-271-1/+2
| | | | macros within an unfilled or literal `Bd'.

* 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

* Correctly make quotes around `Lk' link-name argument. Noted by AldisKristaps Dzonsons2010-08-091-2/+6
| | | | Berzoja. Also note COMPATIBILITY of groff misformatting `Lk'.
* Removed cross-reference to groff(1) in favour of simply mentioning GNUKristaps Dzonsons2010-08-071-1/+1
| | | | troff. This removes the last groff(1) `Xr'.
* Added serial comma.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-08-071-5/+5
