The

library parses lines of
.Xr man 7
-input (and
-.Em only
-man) into an abstract syntax tree (AST).
-.\" PARAGRAPH
+input into an abstract syntax tree (AST).
.Pp
In general, applications initiate a parsing sequence with
.Fn man_alloc ,
The
.Fn man_reset
function may be used in order to reset the parser for another input
-sequence. See the
+sequence.
+See the
.Sx EXAMPLES
section for a full example.

+Beyond the full set of macros defined in
+.Xr man 7 ,
+the

+library also accepts the following macros:

+Has no effect. Handled as a current-scope line macro.
