Subject: ME macros: `i', `b', `r'
Date: Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:15:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CFCFDFD.8050201@bsd.lv> (raw)

Hi,

In doing some clean-up, I noticed that the `i' and `b' macro don't 
actually do anything when invoked with `groff -Tascii -mandoc' or `nroff 
-mandoc'.  Any arguments to the macros are unilaterally lost.

This was tested on Debian testing (groff 1.20.1), NetBSD 5.0.1 (1.19.2), 
and OpenBSD 4.6 (1.15).

Seeing as this is the case, does anybody object to removing these macros 
to libroff and printing a warning when they're invoked?

Thanks,

Kristaps
