tbl is now integrated into mandoc.

[Kristaps Dzonsons <kristaps@bsd.lv>]

Hi,

This is just a head's-up that tbl(1) from http://tbl.bsd.lv has been 
fully integrated into mandoc.  This integration consisted of many 
changes to the merged code (the original code-base is now deprecated, as 
I didn't push back the changes).  An illustration:

% ./mandoc -Owidth=68 foo.3
FOO(1)                 General Commands Manual                FOO(1)

NAME
      foo - bar

DESCRIPTION
      hello

Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64       January 2, 2011      Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64

The input file 'foo.3' is included below.

There are still some elements that need consideration:

  (1) calculating lengths given escapes in input;
  (2) -T[x]html, -Tpdf, and -Tps output.

For now, -Tpdf and -Tps look like crap, and -T[x]html hasn't been done 
at all.  I'm actually not exactly sure how I'm going to get the lines 
done properly in PS or PDF.  -T[x]html, however, shouldn't be too difficult.

Meanwhile, I'm going to try to push some logic down into the code 
regarding (1), then tag out a release so the -Tascii tbl stuff is out in 
the wild.

Take care,

Kristaps
