From c69a5c16ba14a67d916b1beebd5ab71b237169e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Schwarze Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2018 18:34:15 +0000 Subject: Issue a STYLE message when normalizing the date format in .Dd/.TH. Leah Neukirchen pointed out that mdoclint(1) used to warn about a leading zero before the day number, so we know that both NetBSD and Void Linux want the message. It does no harm on OpenBSD because Mdocdate always does the right thing anyway. jmc@ agrees that it makes sense in contexts not using Mdocdate. --- mandoc.1 | 14 ++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'mandoc.1') diff --git a/mandoc.1 b/mandoc.1 index 482af608..76b3cda5 100644 --- a/mandoc.1 +++ b/mandoc.1 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -.\" $Id: mandoc.1,v 1.225 2018/05/03 14:21:46 schwarze Exp $ +.\" $Id: mandoc.1,v 1.226 2018/07/28 18:34:15 schwarze Exp $ .\" .\" Copyright (c) 2009, 2010, 2011 Kristaps Dzonsons .\" Copyright (c) 2012, 2014-2018 Ingo Schwarze @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ .\" ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF .\" OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE. .\" -.Dd $Mdocdate: May 3 2018 $ +.Dd $Mdocdate: July 28 2018 $ .Dt MANDOC 1 .Os .Sh NAME @@ -853,6 +853,16 @@ Consider using the conventional date format .Dq "Month dd, yyyy" instead. +.It Sy "normalizing date format to" : No ... +.Pq mdoc , man +The +.Ic \&Dd +or +.Ic \&TH +macro provides an abbreviated month name or a day number with a +leading zero. +In the formatted output, the month name is written out in full +and the leading zero is omitted. .It Sy "lower case character in document title" .Pq mdoc , man The title is still used as given in the -- cgit v1.2.3-56-ge451
