2014-02-24revert previousMarc Espie
has fun effects on some manpages under some circumstances, as found out by sthen@: the gindent manpage looks like shit when seen with that new default man.conf on an uft8 terminal, e.g., quotes combine with the previous character to yield accented letters for no reason. this should be handled calmly after release, not rushed in at the last minute (okay deraadt@)
2014-02-24default to locale awareness. safer than changing internal mandoc defaults.Ted Unangst
2013-07-13When using the _default search path with _subdir,Ingo Schwarze
first sort by manual section (1, 8, 6, 2, 3, ...), then by manual tree (share, X11R6, local) and only for ties prefer cat over man. For example, this avoids that /usr/local/man/cat7/roff.0 overrides /usr/share/man/man7/roff.7. Triggered by a question from Jan Stary <hans at stare dot cz>, ok dcoppa@ bentley@ jca@ pascal@.
2011-04-11allow man(1) to find the ports/infrastructure manpages by default.Stuart Henderson
ok dcoppa@ phessler@ jasper@ landry@ rpointel@ giovanni@ ajacoutot@ henning@ no problem jmc@
2010-10-19There is no more groff in the base system, so use mandoc(1) to formatIngo Schwarze
manuals on demand by man(1), even though a few manuals may still have formatting issues with mandoc, and a tiny fraction may still make mandoc error out. Also remove the .me and .ms _build rules: we don't support these formats any longer, and don't have any such manuals in base. OK deraadt@ sthen@
2010-04-09format all man pages with -Tascii, like the pre-formatted pages in baseChristian Weisgerber
ok deraadt@
2008-04-27Add section n for Tcl/Tk related pages.Deanna Phillips
ok jmc@, no objections espie@
2007-05-20- move 3f down the search order list for _subdirJason McIntyre
- update paths for 3{F,f,P,p} ok espie millert steven
2007-05-18use "gzcat" instead of "gunzip -c", which is clearer, shorter,Jason McIntyre
and matches "zcat" (as opposed to uncompress -c"); grammar tweak whilst here too; ok millert
2007-05-18- remove /usr/{X11,contrib,gnu} and /usr/*/man/old from the _default pathJason McIntyre
man(1) searches, as well as from the numerical sections list, as they do not exist - remove the {contrib,new,old} sections, as they point to directories that do not exist - make the X11 section an alias for the X11R6 section (instead of pointing to a non-existent directory) ok millert
2007-05-17add an entry for `.ms'; ok millertJason McIntyre
2007-05-17the `doc' entry listed only out of date paths to sendmail docs, soJason McIntyre
remove it (updating it makes little sense); ok millert

Treat foo.n as a -man page, not a -me doc
