************************************************************************
* missing features
************************************************************************
- explicit blocks with missing end macro should be implicitely closed
at the end of the enclosing block, e.g. .Bl It (El) Sh

- .Bl -column .Xo support is missing
ultimate goal:
restore .Xr and .Dv to
lib/libc/compat-43/sigvec.3
lib/libc/gen/signal.3
lib/libc/sys/sigaction.2
- .Bk / .Ek is broken, e.g.
$ man ssh
[...]
ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-D
[bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] [-I pkcs11]

- implement \\
in plain text, identical to \e
as a macro argument, identical to \ i.e. escaping the next character
We do not have macro definitions yet; if we implement them,
\\ must behave in a macro def like in a macro argument,
and when using the macro, it must expand yet again.
- look at bsd.lv tbl(1)
from kristaps@ Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:10:53 +0200
- look at pages generated from reStructeredText, e.g. devel/mercurial hg(1)
These are a weird mixture of man(7) and custom autogenerated low-level
roff stuff. Figure out to what extent we can cope.

- implement blank `Bl -column', such as
.Bl -column
.It foo Ta bar
.El
- explicitly disallow nested `Bl -column', which would clobber internal
flags defined for struct mdoc_macro
- set a meaningful default if no `Bl' list type is assigned
- have a blank `It' head for `Bl -tag' not puke
- ignore horrendous m[] font colouring

************************************************************************
* formatting issues: ugly output
************************************************************************
- outside list context, text following .Sm off
seems to follow without a blank (TERM_NOBLANK reset late?) e.g.
.Sm off
.Xo
.Op Ar bind_address No /
.Ar port
.Xc
.Sm on
or by enclosing

- URGENT, this is making many kernel manuals look bad:
.Ft/.Fn should MAYBE behave in custom section like in SYNOPSIS?
autoconf.9:
.Sh DIRECT CONFIGURATION
.nr nS 1
.Ft "struct device *"
.Fn config_found_sm "struct device *parent"
groff:
DIRECT CONFIGURATION
struct device *
config_found_sm(struct device *parent, ...

- indentation got lost in SYNOPSIS, e.g.
SYNOPSIS
date [-ajnu] [-d dst] [-r seconds] [-t minutes_west] [+format]
- [[[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]HH]MM[.SS]]
+ [[[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]HH]MM[.SS]]

- empty phrases in .Bl column produce too few blanks

************************************************************************
* formatting issues: gratuitious differences
************************************************************************
- FIXED OpenBSD mdoc.c 1.52 schwarze 16.5.10
lines containing blank characters, and nothing else,
in literal context (.Bd -literal):
groff outputs just blank lines "\n"
mandoc outputs blanks to the left margin,
then the number of balnks minus one
NEEDS MERGING TO bsd.lv
************************************************************************
* parser errors without any effect on formatting
************************************************************************
- OpenBSD::PackageName(3p) has "if (block) 90:1" in the parse tree
************************************************************************
* performance issues
************************************************************************
Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even faster. These are
- improve caching mechanism to handle other per-element arguments so
that they need not be recalculated between front- and back-ends (also
reduces code size and complexity):
`Bl -column' pointer
`Bf' font type
- improve hashing mechanism for macros (quite important: performance)
- improve hashing mechanism for characters (not as important)
