* Add some references, most of these were removed when we stopped buildingjsg2021-03-081-2/+10
| | | | | | and installing USD/SMM/PSD docs. jmc@ agrees with the direction, ok millert@ on an earlier diff
* Correct one statement about how the 'm' command works, talk lessschwarze2020-05-241-31/+33
| | | | | | | | | | about ancient terminals, employ the more usual term "caret" rather than "up-arrow", and fix a few minor nits. Patch from Andras Farkas <deepbluemistake at gmail dot com>. Just committing right away because we don't currently install this file, but maybe we might in the future.
* Add an expandtab option, similar to what vim supports.millert2020-04-302-4/+32
| | | | | | | If set, expands tabs to spaces in insert mode as well as when shifting and indenting/outdenting. If quoted with ^V, a literal tab is inserted. Adapted from NetBSD, but this implementation more closely matches vim's behavior. OK dlg@
* better link "set" and "SET OPTIONS";jmc2019-10-041-6/+9

* Simplify documentation of split-screen mode, avoiding abuse of []schwarze2018-02-121-39/+40
| | | | | | | | | to sometimes mean "character set", which conflicts with the normal meaning of "optional element" in manual pages. While here, add a few related clarifications and tweak a few details. Triggered by a minor bug report from <trondd at kagu-tsuchi dot com>, and by bentley@ subsequently pointing out the abuse of []. Patch using input from jmc@, who also agreed with some previous versions.

* Update the other documentation to match the new filec default.bentley2015-11-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | requested by and ok jmc@ (a sign that these files really need to be merged into the manpage so they don't get any more stale...)

* Remove cscope support in vi.bentley2015-11-192-11/+3
| | | | | It makes no sense to keep support for a non-base tool in base, especially for a feature that few if any people use.
* Avoid .Ns right after .Pf, it's pointless.schwarze2015-09-141-7/+7
| | | | In some cases, do additional cleanup in the immediate vicinity.
* Don't use the wrong escape for < and >. Tweak wording to match the page.bentley2015-03-171-5/+5
| | | | From Theo Buehler.
* remove the first comma from constructs like ", and," and ", or,": you can usejmc2015-03-131-3/+3
| | | | | "and" and "or" to join sentence clauses, and you can use commas, but both hinders reading;
* Reduce usage of predefined strings in manpages.bentley2015-02-281-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Predefined strings are not very portable across troff implementations, and they make the source much harder to read. Usually the intended character can be written directly. No output changes, except for two instances where the incorrect escape was used in the first place. tweaks + ok schwarze@
* Remove the vi perl api.bentley2014-11-202-136/+1
| | | | | | | There have been various build errors for coming on two years now. It doesn't work and nobody has expressed any interest in saving it. From natano; ok millert@
* from natano:tedu2014-11-141-1/+0
| | | | | | | The 'tcl' command in vi does nothing, except to print the message "Vi was not loaded with a Tcl interpreter". Printing the standard message for unknown commands would be equally descriptive with the benefit of reducing code size.

Kirk McKusick writes: "Bill usually used "Bill Joy" when listing author information. Only occationally did he choose to use William Joy. So, I would recommend using Bill Joy." So i'm using that here even though some of the original files related to this commit do contain the form "William Joy".
