From b4cefbcb4e56f84d687a5cb86a80f808ee3d494b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Schwarze Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2019 03:45:29 +0000 Subject: Now that .nf and .fi are implemented in the roff(7) parser and formatters rather than in the man(7) parser and formatters, document them in the roff(7) manual, where they belong, rather than in the man(7) manual. Mention that they imply an output line break, and mention which macros imply these requests. --- roff.7 | 49 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 36 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) (limited to 'roff.7') diff --git a/roff.7 b/roff.7 index a1bbcc3d..de76a3c4 100644 --- a/roff.7 +++ b/roff.7 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ -.\" $Id: roff.7,v 1.110 2018/12/16 01:34:56 schwarze Exp $ +.\" $Id: roff.7,v 1.111 2019/01/01 03:45:29 schwarze Exp $ .\" .\" Copyright (c) 2010, 2011, 2012 Kristaps Dzonsons -.\" Copyright (c) 2010-2018 Ingo Schwarze +.\" Copyright (c) 2010-2019 Ingo Schwarze .\" .\" Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software for any .\" purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above @@ -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: December 16 2018 $ +.Dd $Mdocdate: January 1 2019 $ .Dt ROFF 7 .Os .Sh NAME @@ -908,11 +908,23 @@ This is a Heirloom extension and currently ignored.
