Subject: [texi2mdoc] Documents without @node
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2018 17:23:14 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGw6cBsOAYm5OO-EUgMyHk7X5D0P3W7NJkYz2RVH0b61j_cG2w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In preparing the texi2mdoc patch I just sent, I noticed a couple of
things with the latest CVS version compared to 0.1.2.
First, since ffmpeg.texi[0] does not contain a `@node Top` line, I get
an essentially blank (see below) output. I'm not very familiar with
texinfo, but the manual seems to suggest that this is an invalid
document[1]. Should texi2mdoc try to support documents with no top
node by creating one implicitly upon @top? If not, should it fail with
an error message rather than just producing an empty document?
Actually, the output document is not completely blank, it contains
quite a few `.Pp` lines. It looks like this is because the
`fputs(".Pp\n", p->outfile)` in parseword is not guarded by a check of
p->ign, which I believe is a bug.
