* State the defaults for .Os and the fourth .TH argument.
* Sync the section titles, and stop advertising obscure sections that
aren't actually fully supported and certainly not recommended for use.

* Mention that the list is incomplete.
* Quoting quotes by doubling them is documented in the
Ossanna/Kernighan/Ritter Nroff/Troff User's Manual, Section 7.3.
* Our roff(7) manual documents handling of escape sequences;
besides, we partially support \w and \z now.
* Scaling widths are documented in roff(7) as well, and f is not \f.
* Negative arguments to .sp are handled now.

In particular, allow ERRORS in section 4 and DIAGNOSTICS in section 9.

OpenBSD man.7 rev. 1.30

to roff(7) some time ago, i forgot to adjust the cross-references.
Reported by Tim van der Molen <tbvdm at xs4all dot nl>, thanks.

Do not use this, it is not portable and only defined in esr's man-ext.
For example, sox(1) wants these macros.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
If man(7) has any advantage compared to mdoc(7), it's portability,
and using man-ext would needlessly give that advantage away.

some man(7) changes to accomodate for the an-ext compatibility.

volume name for the respective manual section, just like in mdoc(7).
This gives us nicer page headers for cvs(1), lynx(1), tic(1),
mkhybrid(8), and many curses(3) manuals.

To not break compatibility, i wrote a corresponding patch for GNU troff
which Werner Lemberg accepted upstream at rev. 1.65 of:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/groff/tmac/an-old.tmac?root=groff

1) Move the LANGUAGE SYNTAX from mdoc(7) and man(7) to roff(7),
it's common to both and it's actually roff syntax.
2) Move the MACRO SYNTAX down to the bottom, such that the less
technical parts MANUAL STRUCTURE and MACRO OVERVIEW get to the top.
Getting everything to again fit together after the reshuffling
required various adjustments; also adjust and improve
the DESCRIPTIONS while there.

out the \*q escapes. Also fix some spelling typos in both manuals.
|

|

While here, fix the scaling widths example that incorrectly used `br'
(it now correctly uses `sp').
|

|

literal mode (`nf') is ended by SH (and, it turns out, SS as well).
Noted the updated behaviour in man.7 as well.

as a first step to get rid of the frequent petty warnings in this area:
- always store dates as strings, not as seconds since the Epoch
- for input, try the three most common formats everywhere
- for unrecognized format, just pass the date though verbatim
- when there is no date at all, still use the current date
Originally triggered by a one-line patch from Tim van der Molen,
<tbvdm at xs4all dot nl>, which is included here.

me package, aren't recognised by "groff -mandoc" so we don't need to do
so either. Discussed on tech@ with schwarze@.
While at it, remove references to `b' in man.7. As far as I know, this
was never supported anyway.

schwarze@, but without the -T[x]html handling, which structurally does
not work. Also add man.7 documentation (not in original patch).

note that IMPLEMENTATION NOTES is not used in OpenBSD
add missing comma in "sections 1, 6, & 8 only" below EXIT STATUS
below SEE ALSO, add an .Xr to man(1), and from man(7) to mdoc(7)

- HISTORY is interesting even when there are STANDARDS
- more precise instructions what to put into AUTHORS
- add the version argument to the mdoc(7) .Os macro
