+ Puffy mdocml – UNIX manpage compiler, current version @VERSION@ (@VDATE@)

mdocml is a suite of tools compiling mdoc, the roff macro package of choice for BSD manual pages, and man, the predominant historical package for - UNIX manuals. The mission of mdocml is to deprecate groff, the GNU troff implementation, for displaying mdoc - pages whilst providing token support for man. -

-

- Why? groff amounts to over 5 MB of source code, most of which is C++ and GPL version 3. It runs slowly, produces - uncertain output, and varies in operation from system to system. mdocml strives to fix this (respectively small, C, ISC-licensed, fast and regular). + UNIX manuals. + It is small, ISO C, ISC-licensed, and quite fast.

mdocml consists of the libmandoc validating compiler and mandocdb, for indexing manuals; and apropos, whatis, and man.cgi (via catman) for semantic search of manual content. - It is a BSD.lv project. +

+

+ mdocml has predominantly been developed on OpenBSD + and is both an OpenBSD + and a BSD.lv project. + We strive to support all interested free operating systems, in particular + NetBSD, + DragonFly, + FreeBSD, + Minix 3, + and GNU/Linux, + as well as all systems running the pkgsrc portable package build system. + All of these projects have helped to make mdocml better, by providing feedback and advice, + bug reports, and patches.

Disambiguation: mdocml is often referred to by its installed binary, mandoc. @@ -398,7 +406,7 @@ Copyright © 2008–2011 Kristaps Dzonsons, © 2013 Ingo Schwarze, - $Date: 2013/10/13 18:32:44 $ + $Date: 2013/11/07 21:57:14 $
