| | | | | From Ulrich Spoerlein, tweaked by kristaps@. Werner Lemberg added the same .St argument to groff today.

* In man(7), when no explicit volume name is given, use the defaultschwarze2011-12-021-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | volume name for the respective manual section, just like in mdoc(7). This gives us nicer page headers for cvs(1), lynx(1), tic(1), mkhybrid(8), and many curses(3) manuals. ok kristaps@ To not break compatibility, i wrote a corresponding patch for GNU troff which Werner Lemberg accepted upstream at rev. 1.65 of: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/groff/tmac/an-old.tmac?root=groff

* Correct several factual errors in the HISTORY section that crept in byschwarze2011-11-211-9/+17
| | | | | | | relying on random texts found on various websites. Kristaps now found out what really happened by talking to the people involved, see http://manpages.bsd.lv/history.html for details. from kristaps@, and ok jmc@ according to kristaps@

* Clean up the description of .Dt:schwarze2011-11-011-38/+36
| | | | | | | | - Volume and arch are both optional and not alternatives. - Zap verbiage about what's obvious from the synopsis. - For fixed argument strings, use .Cm, not .Ar. - Update the list of architectures for OpenBSD. Using lots of input from jmc@.
* even though .Bl is not callable, groff complains when it appearsschwarze2011-09-271-3/+3
| | | | | unescaped on a macro line, so lets just escape it; noticed by jmc@
* Reorganize part of the content:schwarze2011-09-263-1070/+915
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Move the LANGUAGE SYNTAX from mdoc(7) and man(7) to roff(7), it's common to both and it's actually roff syntax. 2) Move the MACRO SYNTAX down to the bottom, such that the less technical parts MANUAL STRUCTURE and MACRO OVERVIEW get to the top. Getting everything to again fit together after the reshuffling required various adjustments; also adjust and improve the DESCRIPTIONS while there. feedback and "go ahead" jmc@ kristaps@
* note that section macro end literal mode;schwarze2011-09-261-2/+6
| | | | from kristaps@
* Replace the .Fl examples by others exhibiting the same features,schwarze2011-09-261-8/+8
| | | | | | but avoiding use of .Nm, because letting .Nm call other macros is unusual style, and we don't want unusual style in examples. Issue brought up by kristaps@.

| | | | writing this for man(7), too, was suggested by kristaps@
* remove mention of man/cat* pages; ok schwarze@okan2011-09-191-7/+2

* sync to version 1.11.7 from kristaps@schwarze2011-09-182-11/+28
| | | | | | | | main new feature: support the roff(7) .tr request plus various bugfixes and some refactoring regressions are so minor that it's better to get this in and fix them in the tree
* sync to mandoc 1.11.5:schwarze2011-09-187-229/+694
| | | | | | | document eqn(7) and many other improvements from kristaps@ no objection from deraadt@ against adding an eqn.7 page
* Add a MACRO OVERVIEW, listing all macros ordered by purpose,schwarze2011-09-171-2/+126
| | | | | | | each with a one-line discription. Use this when wondering which macro fits best for your particular use case, and whether there are alternatives. feedback ond ok jmc@

* after some thought, i think it unlikely that we will need to specifyjmc2011-09-161-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | a revision number for ISO 8601; in addition, the revision number makes the text unwieldy when discussing the standard in a casual manner. therefore change the macro from -8601-4 to simply -8601, which will output "ISO 8601". i'll get kristaps or ingo to make the change upstream to mandoc. discussed with/ok millert
* add an St macro for ISO 8601:2004;jmc2011-09-091-2/+4

* make -column lists pretty again;jmc2011-09-031-20/+20
| | | | | | | | | | specifically, rewrite them to permit some markup in the column headers, and use "Ta" instead of literal tabs; mandoc does not currently match groff 100%, but a mandoc fix may be some time off, and we've gone enough releases with poorly formatting column lists. in some cases i have rewritten the lists as -tag, where -column made little sense.
* in column lists, enforce the following ordering:jmc2011-08-303-25/+25
| | | | | | | | | .Bl -column header1 header2 ... <Bl flags> mixing things up confuses mandoc, and adding flags in can screw up the list. this hopefully just makes things a bit safer (and more consistent). (one more bit of work left and all column lists should format how we want)
* remove some pointless Pp/-compact combinations; either ingo or kristapsjmc2011-08-303-24/+15

* The term "reserved characters" is too broad, so narrow it downschwarze2011-08-021-47/+92
| | | | | | | | to "delimiters", and explain which special handling they get as macro arguments. Move the text to a better place and remove a few lies. Postpone figuring out the lists of macros causing that special handling, it would cost too much time right now. feedback and ok jmc@

| | | | | | | | | | | explained in mdoc.samples(7) is missing from mdoc(7): * Discourage trailing whitespace. * Move all information about quoted arguments to the relevant subsection, shortening it a bit, and adding an example. * Mention that blanks can be quoted with a backslash. * A better .Nd line in the template (verbatim from mdoc.samples(7)). * Explain how to escape callable macro names, and provide examples. ok jmc@

Stop abusing it on other archs for controling a shutdown by pressing the soft power button: * Add a MI sysctl hw.allowpowerdown; if set to 1 (the default) it allows a power button shutdown. * Make acpi(4)/acpibtn(4) honor hw.allowpowerdown. * Switch the various power button intercepts on landisk, sgi, sparc64 and zaurus over to hw.allowpowerdown. * Garbage collect the machdep.kbdreset sysctl on all archs other than amd64 and i386. ok miod@
