.Dt MANDOC_HEADERS 3
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm mandoc_headers
.Nd ordering of mandoc include files
.Sh DESCRIPTION
To support a cleaner coding style, the mandoc header files do not
contain any include directives and do not guard against multiple
inclusion.
The application developer has to make sure that the headers are
included in a proper order, and that no header is included more
than once.
.Pp
The headers and functions form three major groups:
.Sx Parser interface ,
.Sx Parser internals ,
and
.Sx Formatter interface .
.Pp
Various rules are given below prohibiting the inclusion of certain
combinations of headers into the same file.
The intention is to keep the following functional components
separate from each other:
.Pp
.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
.It
.Xr mdoc 7
parser
.It
.Xr man 7
parser
.It
.Xr roff 7
parser
.It
.Xr tbl 7
parser
.It
.Xr eqn 7
parser
.It
terminal formatters
.It
HTML formatters
.It
search tools
.El
.Pp
Note that mere usage of an opaque struct type does
.Em not
require inclusion of the header where that type is defined.
.Ss Parser interface
Each of the following headers can be included without including
any other mandoc header.
These headers should be included before any other mandoc headers.
