Subject: deroff -> demandoc
Date: Thu, 01 Sep 2011 12:54:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E5F6482.8040608@bsd.lv> (raw)
Hi,
I've added the demandoc utility to the mdocml suite. I did this becaus
I noticed the deroff has some issues: it unilaterally strips away macro
lines (including their text) and doesn't always regard escapes. Also:
% demandoc mandoc.1 | spell -b
demandoc retains the line number AND column of its input, strips out
escapes, and correctly handles macro lines in both -man and -mdoc (it
uses libmandoc, obviously). It's also just a tiny source file.
Examples:
% cat -n foo.1
1 .Dd $Mdocdate$
2 .Dt FOO 1
3 .Os
4 .Sh NAME
5 .Nm foo
6 .Nd bar
7 .Sh DESCRIPTION
8 Hi there.
% ./demandoc foo.1 | cat -n
1
2
3
4 NAME
5 foo
6 bar
7 DESCRIPTION
8 Hi there.
Thoughts?
Kristaps
