mandoc

Release Notes: This release adds significant work on apropos and mandocdb. These tools are now much more robust. A whatis implementation is now handled as an apropos mode. These tools are also able to minimally handle pre-formatted pages (that is, those already formatted by another utility such as GNU troff). The man.cgi script is also now available for wider testing. It interfaces with mandocdb manuals cached by catman. HTML output is generated on-the-fly by libmandoc or internal methods to convert pre-formatted pages.

Release Notes: This release features a new output mode, -Tman, allowing distribution of man media for legacy systems not supporting -mdoc. The -Ofragment option has been added to mandoc's -T[x]html modes. An apropos utility has been merged for semantic search of manual content. The mdoc and man manuals have been made considerably more readable. Horizontal tbl spacing has been rewritten for groff compatibility. Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in man, and several bugs have been fixed regarding indentation and alignment. The page headers in mdoc are now nicer for very long titles.

Release Notes: This release adds a demandoc utility (call-compatible with the historical deroff) for stripping away macros and escapes. This is useful for spell-checking manuals. It also improves the mdoc and man manuals.

Release Notes: The roff "tr" macro is now implemented: this makes Perl documentation much more readable. Hyphenation is also now enabled in man format documents. Many other general improvements have been implemented. Furthermore, a 64-bit Windows binary and a Mac OS X universal binary are now available.

Release Notes: Significant eqn improvements. mdocml can now parse arbitrary eqn input (although few GNU extensions are accepted, and mixing low-level roff with eqn is not possible). For the time being, equations are rendered as simple in-line text. The equation parser satisfies the language specified in the Second Edition User's Guide of the troff eqn system. This is also the first release featuring a distributed Windows binary.
