* sync to bsd.lv:schwarze2010-09-261-3/+21
| | | | | | note that \k, \o, \w, \z roff escapes are ignored by mandoc(1) add a short HISTORY to mdoc(7) move the sentence telling which sections use LIBRARY in man(7)
* add a "mips64" architecture; requested by/ok miodjmc2010-09-261-2/+3

* EXIT STATUS is allowed for section 6 pages too (even though none of ourjmc2010-09-041-3/+3
| | | | section 6 pages currently contain this information);
* this diff does two things (usually a bad sign):jmc2010-08-311-8/+11
| | | | | | | | - note which section headings (.Sh) are not used by openbsd - move the description of the section heading to under the heading, rather than before it: a much more logical way to read diffs mailed upstream...
* * sort COMPATIBILITY in mdoc(7); ok kristaps@schwarze2010-08-221-112/+105
| | | | * update escape COMPATIBILITY in mdoc(7) and man(7); from kristaps@
* Correctly display quotes around the .Lk link-name argument,schwarze2010-08-181-4/+8
| | | | | | as noted by Aldis Berzoja. In COMPATIBILITY, note that groff is misformatting .Lk when given more than two arguments; from kristaps@.
* sync to bsd.lv:schwarze2010-08-071-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | * When discussing compatibility, be more specific whether we are referring to GNU troff or to troff in general. * Move one compatibility note to the appropriate section. * And a few minor tweaks. While here, EXIT STATUS is also ok in section 6. With permission from deraadt@ to still improve mandoc manuals.
* tweaks from jmc@:schwarze2010-08-031-38/+43
| | | | | | | | | * correct a few obvious mistakes * adopt some of jmc@'s recent changes to man(7) * cut down just a little on the awful tendency to stick a hyphen between two words. "yes" deraadt
* The explanations of the HISTORY and AUTHORS sections were nicerschwarze2010-08-011-7/+7

* Move the new mdoc(7) manual written by kristaps@, replacing the old oneschwarze2010-08-011-412/+2839
| | | | | | | | which had much less information, such that the new one gets installed. No change to the build system required, no text change in this commit. Doing the big move early even though a few more improvements will follow. The duplicate information in mdoc.samples(7) will be cleaned up post-release. ok jmc@, and kristaps@ agreed with the plan, too

* Neither .Pp nor unqualified text are allowed at the top level of .Bl;schwarze2010-01-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | | instead, .It is required. Thus, move .Pp and text before the .Bl, and remove the .Pp altogether where it is not needed. Syntax errors found by mandoc(1), also required to fix the mandoc build; feedback and ok jmc@, and sobrado@ also supports the direction.

| | | | | | | Out of the approximately 1450 man pages, only about 90 of them were wrong. Thanks to kwesterback@home.com for coming up with a script and patch to repair this. The patch also inserted a .Os macro in the few man pages that were missing one.
