.Nm mdocmterm
.Op Fl v
.Op Fl W Ns Ar err...
.Op Ar infile
.\" SECTION
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility formats a BSD
.Dq mdoc
manual page for display on the terminal. The arguments are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width "\-Werr... "
.\" ITEM
.It Fl v
Print verbose parsing output.
.\" ITEM
.It Fl W Ns Ar err...
Print warning messages. May be set to
.Fl W Ns Ar all
for all warnings,
.Ar compat
for groff/troff-compatibility warnings, or
.Ar syntax
for syntax warnings. If
.Fl W Ns Ar error
is specified, warnings are considered errors and cause utility
termination. Multiple
.Fl W
arguments may be comma-separated, such as
.Fl W Ns Ar error,all .
.\" ITEM
.It Ar infile
Read input from
.Ar infile ,
which may be
.Dq \-
for stdin.
.El
.\" PARAGRAPH
.Pp
The
.Nm
utility is a formatting front-end for
.Xr mdoc 3 ,
which parses the
.Dq mdoc
input, documented at
.Xr mdoc 7
and
.Xr mdoc.samples 7 ,
into an abstract syntax tree.
.\" PARAGRAPH
.Pp
By default,
.Nm
reads from stdin and prints terminal-encoded output to stdout.

.Ss Character Escapes
This section documents the character-escapes accepted by
.Xr mdocterm 1 .
Note that the \\x, \\(xx and \\[n] forms are described here; the \\*(xx
and \\*x forms described in
.Xr mdoc.samples 7
are deprecated, but still correctly rendered. For all two-character
sequences, \\(xx is equivalent to the n-character \\[xx].
.Pp
Note that the
.Em Output
column will render differently whether executed with
.Xr mdocterm 1
or another output filter.

*This is a deviation from the standard, as NaN is usually rendered as
\\*(Na, which is a deprecated form. We introduce \\(na, which follows
the more general syntax.
