Manpages
The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.71.1
release.
- • Added doc for man.output.lang.in.name.enabled parameter. This
- checkin completes support for writing file/pathnames for man-pages
- with $lang include in the names. Closes #1585967. knightly
- accolades to Daniel Leidert for providing the feature request.
-
- • Added new param man.output.lang.in.name.enabled, which
- controls whether $LANG value is included in manpages
- filenames and pathnames. It works like this:
-
- If the value of man.output.lang.in.name.enabled is non-zero,
- man-page files are output with the $lang value included in
- their filenames or pathnames as follows;
-
- - if man.output.subdirs.enabled is non-zero, each file is
- output to, e.g., a /$lang/man8/foo.8 pathname
-
- - if man.output.subdirs.enabled is zero, each file is output
- with a foo.$lang.8 filename
-
- • Use "\e" instead of "\\" for backslash output, because the
- groff docs say that's the correct thing to do; also because
- testing (thanks, Paul Dubois) shows that "\\" doesn't always
- work as expected; for example, "\\" within a table seems to
- mess things up.
-
- • Added the man.string.subst.map.local.pre and
- man.string.subst.map.local.post parameters. Those parameters
- enable local additions and changes to string-substitution mappings
- without the need to change the value of man.string.subst.map
- parameter (which is for standard system mappings). Closes
- #1456738. Thanks to Sam Steingold for constructing a true
- stylesheet torture test (the clisp docs) that exposed the need for
- these params.
-
- • Added the Markup element to the list of elements that get output
- in bold. Thanks to Eric S. Raymond.
-
- • Replaced all dots in roff requests with U+2302 ("house"
- character), and added escaping in output for all instances of dot
- that are not in roff requests. This fixes the problem case where a
- string beginning with a dot (for example, the string ".bashrc")
- might occur at the beginning of a line in output, in which case
- would mistakenly get interpreted as a roff request. Thanks to Eric
- S. Raymond for pushing to fix this.
-
- • Made change to ensure that list content nested in
- itemizedlist and orderedlist instances is properly indented. This
- is a switch from using .TP to format those lists to using .RS/.RE
- to format them instead (because .TP does not allow nesting). Closes bug #

- text flow where they occur, then their contents are displayed in
- an endnotes section at the end of the man page (currently titled
- REFERENCES, for English output, but will be changed to NOTES).

- basic paragraph handling, handling of "mixed block" content,
- handling of other indented content, and handling of authorblurb
- and personblurb in the AUTHORS section.
