.Nm mdoctree
.Op Fl vV
.Op Fl f Ns Ar options...
.Op Fl W Ns Ar err...
.Op Ar infile
.\" SECTION
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility parses a BSD
.Dq mdoc
manual pages and prints its syntax tree. It's commonly used to see the
syntax tree of a document when building new
.Xr mdoc 3
utilities. The arguments are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width XXXXXXXXXXXX
.\" ITEM
.It Fl v
Print verbose parsing output.
.\" ITEM
.It Fl V
Print version and exit.
.\" ITEM
.It Fl f Ns Ar option...
Override default compiler behaviour. See
.Sx Compiler Options
for details.
.\" 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
.Ar infile ,
which may be
.Dq \-
for stdin.
.El
.\" PARAGRAPH
.Pp
The
.Nm
utility is a formatting front-end for
.Xr mdoc 3 ,
which parses the
.Dq mdoc
input, documented at
.Xr mdoc 7
and
.Xr mdoc.samples 7 ,
into an abstract syntax tree. By default, it reads from stdin and
prints the syntax tree to stdout.
.\" PARAGRAPH
.Pp
.Ex -std mdoctree
.\" SUB-SECTION
.Ss Compiler Options
Default compiler behaviour may be overriden with the
.Fl f
flag. The available options are as follows:
.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.
.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.
