.Op Fl W Ns Ar err...
.Op Fl T Ns Ar output
.Op Ar infile...
.\" SECTION
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility formats a BSD
.Dq mdoc
manual page for display. The arguments are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width XXXXXXXXXXXX
.\" ITEM
.It Fl f Ns Ar option...
Override default compiler behaviour. See
.Sx Compiler Options
for details.
.\" ITEM
.It Fl T
Output format. See
.Sx Output Formats
for available formats. Defaults to
.Fl T Ns Ar ascii .
.\" ITEM
.It Fl V
Print version and exit.
.\" ITEM
.It Fl W Ns Ar err...
Print warning messages. May be set to
.Fl W Ns Ar all
for all warnings,
.Ar compat
for groff/troff-compatibility warnings, or
.Ar syntax
for syntax warnings. If
.Fl W Ns Ar error
is specified, warnings are considered errors and cause utility
termination. Multiple
.Fl W
arguments may be comma-separated, such as
.Fl W Ns Ar error,all .
.\" ITEM
.It Ar infile...
Read input from zero or more
.Ar infile .
If unspecified, reads from stdin.
.El
.\" PARAGRAPH
.Pp
By default,
.Nm
reads from stdin and prints 78-column backspace-encoded output to stdout
as if
.Fl T Ns Ar ascii
were provided.
.\" PARAGRAPH
.Pp
.Ex -std mandoc
.\" SUB-SECTION
.Ss Output Formats
The
.Nm
utility accepts the following
.Fl T
arguments:
.Bl -tag -width XXXXXXXXXXXX -offset XXXX
.It Ar ascii
Produce 7-bit ASCII output, backspace-encoded for bold and underline
styles. This is the default.
.It Ar tree
Produce an indented parse tree.
.It Ar lint
Parse only: produce no output.
.El
.\" SUB-SECTION
.Ss Compiler Options
Default compiler behaviour may be overriden with the
.Fl f
flag.
.Bl -tag -width XXXXXXXXXXXX -offset XXXX
.It Fl f Ns Ar ign-scope
When rewinding the scope of a block macro, forces the compiler to ignore
scope violations. This can seriously mangle the resulting tree.
.It Fl f Ns Ar ign-escape
Ignore invalid escape sequences.
.It Fl f Ns Ar ign-macro
Ignore unknown macros at the start of input lines.
.El
.\" PARAGRAPH
.Pp
As with the
.Fl W
flag, multiple
.Fl f
options may be grouped and delimited with a comma. Using
.Fl f Ns Ar ign-scope,ign-escape ,
for example, will try to ignore scope and character-escape errors.

.Sh CAVEATS
The
.Nm
utility doesn't yet know how to display the following:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -compact
.It
The \-hang
.Sq \&Bl
list is not yet supported.
.It
The \-literal and \-unfilled
.Sq \&Bd
displays only accept text contents.
.It
The
.Sq \&Xo/Xc
pair isn't supported.
.It
The
.Sq \&Sm
macro has no effect, yet.
.El
.Pp
Other macros still aren't supported by virtue of nobody complaining
about their absence. Please report any omissions: this is a work in
progress.
