Significant work on apropos and mandocdb. These tools are - now much more robust and in line with other manpage systems. A whatis implementation is now - handled as an apropos mode. These tools are also able to minimally handle pre-formatted - pages, that is, those already formatted by another utility such as GNU troff. + now much more robust. + A whatis implementation is now handled as an apropos mode. + These tools are also able to minimally handle pre-formatted pages, that is, those already formatted by another utility + such as GNU troff.
The man.cgi script is also now available for wider testing. It interfaces with libmandoc or internal methods to convert pre-formatted pages.
- Lastly, the mailing list archive for the discuss and tech lists are being hosted by Gmane at gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.user and gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.devel, respectively.
-- 08-10-2011: version 1.12.0 -
-- This version features a new, work-in-progress mandoc output mode: -Tman. This mode - allows a system maintainer to distribute man media for older systems that may not natively - support mdoc, such as old Solaris systems. - The -Ofragment option was added to mandoc's -Thtml and -Txhtml modes. -
-- While adding features, an apropos utility has been merged from the mandoc-tools sandbox. - This interfaces with mandocdb for semantic search of manual content. apropos is different from the traditional apropos primarily in allowing keyword search - (such as for functions, utilities, etc.) and regular expressions. - Note that the calling syntax for apropos is likely to change as it settles down. -
-- In documentation news, the mdoc and man manuals have been made - considerably more readable by adding MACRO OVERVIEW sections, by moving the gory details of the LANGUAGE - SYNTAX to the roff manual, and by moving the very technical MACRO SYNTAX sections - down to the bottom of the page. -
- Furthermore, for tbl, the -Tascii mode horizontal spacing of tables was rewritten - completely. It is now compatible with groff, both - with and without frames and rulers. Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in man, and - several bugs were fixed regarding indentation and alignment. The page headers in mdoc are now - nicer for very long titles. + Lastly, I'm no longer providing binaries, as nobody has asked for them.
