.Sh DESCRIPTION
The mandoc HTML formatter is not a formal library.
However, as it is compiled into more than one program, in particular
Print a
.Cm class
attribute.
+This attribute letter can optionally be followed by the modifier letter
+.Cm T .
+In that case, a
+.Cm title
+attribute with the same value is also printed.
.It Cm h
Print a
.Cm href
argument type letters and style name letters.
.El
.Pp
-Argument type letters each require on argument as follows:
+Argument type letters each require one argument as follows:
.Bl -tag -width 1n -offset indent
.It Cm h
Requires one
If the argument is
.Dv NULL ,
nothing is printed for this pair.
-.It Cm W
-Similar to
-.Cm w ,
-but makes the width negative by multiplying it with \(mi1.
+.Pp
+The
+.Cm w
+argument type letter can optionally be followed by one or two
+modifier letters.
+The modifier
+.Cm +
+increases the width by 10% to make even bold text fit
+and adds two units for padding between columns.
+The modifier
+.Cm \-
+makes the width negative by multiplying it with \-1.
.El
.Pp
Style name letters decide what to do with the preceding argument:
.Fn print_tagq
functions.
.Pp
+The function
+.Fn html_make_id
+takes a node containing one or more text children
+and returns a newly allocated string containing the concatenation
+of the child strings, with blanks replaced by underscores.
+If the node
+.Fa n
+contains any non-text child node,
+.Fn html_make_id
+returns
+.Dv NULL
+instead.
+The caller is responsible for freeing the returned string.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn html_strlen
+counts the number of characters in
+.Fa cp .
+It is used as a crude estimate of the width needed to display a string.
