* bring in lots of improvements from kristaps@;schwarze2011-06-074-86/+141
| | | | | jmc@ agrees that it's easiest to first commit it, then tweak it in the tree
* fix a formatting error, as reported by Mikolaj Kucharski;jmc2011-06-051-3/+3
| | | | ingo will sync upstream
* remove a sentence which isn;t true; ingo will sync upstreamjmc2011-05-161-4/+2
| | | | ok schwarze
* add /usr/share/doc/mg/;jmc2011-04-261-2/+6

* The semantics of .Bk was described incorrectlyschwarze2011-04-171-4/+5
| | | | | | for the case of multiple sibling macros on a single input line. Issue found investigating a question from sobrado@. "I like this diff" kristaps@
* Push COMPAT_FREEBSD in front of a whale. Buggy, out of date, noguenther2011-04-051-3/+2
| | | | | | one has been weeding it, and it makes life harder. Toasts of Brennivin for its passing from many; diff ok henning@
* Clean up date handling,schwarze2011-03-072-70/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | as a first step to get rid of the frequent petty warnings in this area: - always store dates as strings, not as seconds since the Epoch - for input, try the three most common formats everywhere - for unrecognized format, just pass the date though verbatim - when there is no date at all, still use the current date Originally triggered by a one-line patch from Tim van der Molen, <tbvdm at xs4all dot nl>, which is included here. Feedback and OK on manual parts from jmc@. "please check this in" kristaps@
* Clean up the COMPATIBILITY section;schwarze2011-02-091-24/+32
| | | | | | | | | heavily based on a patch from kristaps@ with some tweaks by me. - Also talk about -Tps and -Tpdf. - Use the same list style as in the other mandoc manuals. - Replace a few macros by ones better suited. - Some improvements of wording. ok jmc@ kristaps@
* Between groff-1.15 and groff-1.20.1, the .Ns macro was changed to noschwarze2011-02-072-11/+13
| | | | | | | longer suppress spacing when used at the beginning of an input line, and mandoc now follows the same behaviour as new groff. Thus, sweep the tree and remove useless .Ns. Most places found by jmc@; ok jmc@ kristaps@.
* If .Ns is specified on its own line, ignore it, like groff does;schwarze2011-02-061-3/+5
| | | | from kristaps@.
* Implement the \N'number' (numbered character) roff escape sequence.schwarze2011-01-301-2/+17
| | | | | | | Don't use it in new manuals, it is inherently non-portable, but we need it for backward-compatibility with existing manuals, for example in Xenocara driver pages. ok kristaps@ matthieu@ jmc@
* Mention .ns, .ps, .ta; related to mandoc/roff.c rev. 1.31.schwarze2011-01-251-1/+15
|
* As noticed by deraadt@, it goes without saying that text filesschwarze2011-01-253-16/+6
| | | | | | on a UNIX system use UNIX conventions, and UNIX tools working on them expect that. ok jmc@
* Better explain roff(7) macro argument quoting;schwarze2011-01-242-10/+46
| | | | ok jmc@.
* sync to bsd.lv: document spans, and decimalpoint() is implementedschwarze2011-01-221-6/+16
|
* Lots of in-line macros require arguments but were not marked as such.schwarze2011-01-221-11/+11
| | | | Check prompted by kristaps@.
* If the first character of a free-form text input line is whitespace,schwarze2011-01-162-4/+10
| | | | | then it will start a new output line; from kristaps@.
* Add examples for various pkgname versions comparisons (rc,beta,pl,pre..)landry2011-01-131-2/+14
| | | | ok espie@
* Add and install tbl(7);schwarze2011-01-095-9/+350
| | | | written by kristaps@, looked over by jmc@.
* Sync to bsd.lv:schwarze2011-01-092-98/+103
| | | | | * one additional pair of .Sx cross references * prefer .Dl over .D1 for code examples
* document how version work.espie2010-12-301-2/+44
| | | | | okay jmc@ landry has some examples to polish.
* minor tweaks:schwarze2010-12-221-3/+16
| | | | | | | - improve .Bl wording (from jmc@) - document .Pa default (from kristaps@) - fix formatting of one COMPATIBILITY note: move "and" out of .Sx ok jmc@, kristaps@
* Sync to bsd.lv (except that i'm not adding .ft documentation,schwarze2010-12-191-66/+8
| | | | | | | | | which we have in roff.7): Remove documentation of the bogus macros .i and .r (which we just removed from mandoc and which never worked in groff), of .b (which never existed at all), and of the commented-out chunks for .PD, .Sp, .Vb, and .Ve (the latter three occur in the pod2man preamble and are now handled by roff.7 .de).
* Abort endless loops during roff macro and string expansion.schwarze2010-12-091-1/+7
| | | | | | For now, use the simplest conceivable approach, like groff does: Just a fixed, ugly input stack limit. Kristaps@ agrees.
* Roff only interpolates \* strings when the leading backslash is not escaped.schwarze2010-12-091-2/+5
| | | | Kristaps@ agrees with the idea, even though he didn't review the final patch.
* various clean up; ok schwarzejmc2010-11-301-15/+11
|
* General cleanup of the roff(7) manual, and install it.schwarze2010-11-302-81/+133
| | | | | | Be more careful to not confuse requests, macros and escape sequences. Add more info at various places, including new SEE ALSO and HISTORY sections. Reads fine to jmc@.
* Be more specific about what .Xo can be used for.schwarze2010-11-301-5/+9
| | | | jmc@ calls this change "sufficient"
* Implement the roff .ft (change font) request for man(7).schwarze2010-11-291-2/+30
| | | | | | | | Of course, we don't want to encourage low-level physical markup, but pod2man(1) writes such requests, so Perl manuals contain them, and some Xenocara and lots and lots of ports manuals use them as well. In base and Xenocara, this will reduce mandoc -Tlint ERROR noise; in ports, it will improve rendering of many manuals.
* Define the terms "callable" and "parsed" with more precision.schwarze2010-11-281-13/+19
| | | | | | Be more specific about what "historic groff" refers to. Explicitely mention the nine argument limit below COMPATIBILITY. feedback and ok jmc@
* Parse and ignore the .ad, .hy, .nh, and .ne roff requests.schwarze2010-11-281-3/+19
| | | | | | | Ignoring these can neither cause information loss nor serious formatting issues. As they are frequently used by pod2man(1), this considerably reduces ERROR noise from mandoc -Tlint for the Perl manuals.
* Move our partial roff language manual to the right place,schwarze2010-11-271-0/+532
| | | | | | such that, after some more improvements, we will eventually be able to install it. jmc@ agrees with the plan.

* Referring to terms explained in other manuals, always use .Xr.schwarze2010-10-291-4/+4
| | | | | | Otherwise, hyperlinks can't be produced and people will likely miss the additional information available. Requested by deraadt@.

* Remove the BUGS section that points to FreeBSD ports handbook.landry2010-10-231-18/+3
