Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, what is people's thought on .Dd in general? Personally, I've thought about nuking it more than once. Most developers forget to update it and honestly both running after people and reminding them as well as keeping them up to date myself are a pain. Also, at least in DragonFly, I see no real benefit in keeping it up to date, since nobody goes and checks the date on manpages to decide which are worth looking through for new stuff. We also don't have translations of manpages so that the translators would use the date for finding out which need to be checked for translating. This was the reason given to me when I asked about .Dd on the FreeBSD lists once. My more specific question is: Would this be possible with mdocml? It seems to take .Dd as an indicator for the beginning of the title part so I assume not. But then, it's not the latest mandoc(1) I'm using here and maybe things have changed.
