I'm going to commit it: if anybody has issues, let me know and I can back it out and/or argue. % mandoc -Owidth=68 mdoc.7 [snip] HISTORY The mdoc language first appeared as a troff macro package in 4.4BSD. It was later significantly updated by Werner Lemberg and Ruslan Ermilov in groff-1.20.1. The standalone implementation that is part of the mandoc(1) utility written by Kristaps Dzonsons appeared in OpenBSD 4.6. This is more or less the dual of man.7. I don't think we need anything more specific. Comments? Kristaps -- To unsubscribe send an email to discuss+unsubscribe@mdocml.bsd.lv
