| | | | | | 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)

* Both old and new groff behave in the following way: Literal tabs areschwarze2010-09-051-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | considered normal word characters even when delimiting column phrases in .Bl -column. Thus, in any column but the last, if the column is terminated by a literal tab, and the last character is a solitary dot, that dot is NOT considered punctuation, and consequently offset from the preceding text by a blank space. This space does not occur when the Ta macro is used inmstead of a literal tab, or when a blank character is inserted between the dot and the tab. Confused now? So were we. We decided to consider that a bug in groff, not a feature, and to not emulate it in mandoc(1). Thus, let operator(7) no longer depend on that groff bug.
* EXIT STATUS is allowed for section 6 pages too (even though none of ourjmc2010-09-042-6/+6

* this diff does two things (usually a bad sign):jmc2010-08-312-15/+21
| | | | | | | | - 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...

| | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | user-defined string \*(Pu (punctuation character list) by using non-breaking non-compressing instead of normal spaces. Works with mandoc, new groff and even with old groff. Tree is locked, but deraadt@ says i'm still allowed to polish manuals.
* tweaks from jmc@:schwarze2010-08-031-38/+43

| | | | | | | | 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

| | | | | | | | | old groff_man.7 we currently install. As a first step, move the new manual where it belongs, not changing any content except the OpenBSD marker. The plan is, after some polishing, to install man.7 and not install groff_man.7 any longer. jmc@, sobrado@ and kristaps@ agree

| | | | | | | | | using the mandoc(1) .ds implementation just committed. Note this is not compatible with our old in-tree groff and only barely compatible with modern groff, but right now, it is most important to get correct formatting for the release; all he rest can be fixed up later.

* Adding the pod2man(1) special characters to mandoc_char(7) was a bad idea.schwarze2010-04-041-21/+2
| | | | | | | | | The mandoc_char(7) manual is supposed to document standard characters for man(7) and mdoc(7), and these are not standard in any sense. So move the documentation to an implementation-specific manual. noticed by kristaps@ and merged in 1.9.22 ok jmc@ who also noticed that \*(TH broke the nroff -Tps build

| | | | | | | | | | man(7) and mdoc(7) special characters and predefined strings in general; just as mandoc(1) is not intending to implement new languages, but provide standard formatting for man(7) and mdoc(7) files, whatever "standard" may mean in this context (sigh). So move this to the right place. noticed by deraadt@
* Neither .Pp nor unqualified text are allowed at the top level of .Bl;schwarze2010-01-031-3/+3
