.Sh NAME
.Nm mdocml
.Nd compile manpage source into mark-up language
.\"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility compiles
.Xr mdoc 7
macros, such as those inheriting from
.Xr mdoc.samples 7 ,
into XML or HTML documents. Unlike other similar utilities such as
.Xr rman 1
and
.Xr man2html 1 ,
.Nm
acts directly on source documents, validating its input and producing a
variety of outputs.
.\"
.Ss Validation
In order to operate sanely,
.Nm
fully validates its input. This includes, but is not limited to, the
following checks:
.Pp
.Bl -enum -compact
.It
special characters (such as
.Sq \en
and
.Sq \et ) ,
.It
macro scope (such as
.Sq \&.Sh
macros clobbering a pending
.Sq \&.Bl
scope),
.It
predefined characters (such as \\*(>= and \\*q),
.It
correctly-ordered document prelude,
.It
sane argument values (such as those for
.Sq \&.Dt
or
.Sq \&.Sm ) ,
.It
and so on.
.El
.Pp
.\"
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
The
.Nm
utility has been tested under Linux and OpenBSD.
.\"
.Sh EXAMPLES
This page was produced as follows:
.Pp
.D1 % mdocml -fhtml -o index.html index.7
.\"
.Sh SEE ALSO
