relying on random texts found on various websites. Kristaps now found
out what really happened by talking to the people involved, see

Text about "Dashes and Hyphens" by jmc@.

- Volume and arch are both optional and not alternatives.
- Zap verbiage about what's obvious from the synopsis.
- For fixed argument strings, use .Cm, not .Ar.
- Update the list of architectures for OpenBSD.
Using lots of input from jmc@.

unescaped on a macro line, so lets just escape it;
noticed by jmc@
|
|
1) Move the LANGUAGE SYNTAX from mdoc(7) and man(7) to roff(7),
it's common to both and it's actually roff syntax.
2) Move the MACRO SYNTAX down to the bottom, such that the less
technical parts MANUAL STRUCTURE and MACRO OVERVIEW get to the top.
Getting everything to again fit together after the reshuffling
required various adjustments; also adjust and improve
the DESCRIPTIONS while there.

but avoiding use of .Nm, because letting .Nm call other macros
is unusual style, and we don't want unusual style in examples.
Issue brought up by kristaps@.

writing this for man(7), too, was suggested by kristaps@
|
|
|
|
main new feature: support the roff(7) .tr request
plus various bugfixes and some refactoring
regressions are so minor that it's better to get this in
and fix them in the tree

document eqn(7) and many other improvements
from kristaps@
no objection from deraadt@ against adding an eqn.7 page

each with a one-line discription. Use this when wondering
which macro fits best for your particular use case, and whether
there are alternatives.

a revision number for ISO 8601; in addition, the revision number makes
the text unwieldy when discussing the standard in a casual manner.
therefore change the macro from -8601-4 to simply -8601, which will output
"ISO 8601". i'll get kristaps or ingo to make the change upstream to mandoc.

ok kristaps (who will update the mandoc repo)

specifically, rewrite them to permit some markup in the column headers,
and use "Ta" instead of literal tabs; mandoc does not currently match groff
100%, but a mandoc fix may be some time off, and we've gone enough releases
with poorly formatting column lists.
in some cases i have rewritten the lists as -tag, where -column made
little sense.
|
|
.Bl -column header1 header2 ... <Bl flags>
mixing things up confuses mandoc, and adding flags in can screw up the list.
this hopefully just makes things a bit safer (and more consistent).
(one more bit of work left and all column lists should format how we want)
|

will update mandoc repo

filling gaps found by checking the MANUAL DOMAIN chapter in mdoc.samples(7).
While here, fix lots of minor issues.
feedback and ok jmc@;
tree is locked, but ok to commit this one from deraadt@

to "delimiters", and explain which special handling they get
as macro arguments. Move the text to a better place and remove
a few lies. Postpone figuring out the lists of macros causing
that special handling, it would cost too much time right now.

explained in mdoc.samples(7) is missing from mdoc(7):
* Discourage trailing whitespace.
* Move all information about quoted arguments to the relevant
subsection, shortening it a bit, and adding an example.
* Mention that blanks can be quoted with a backslash.
* A better .Nd line in the template (verbatim from mdoc.samples(7)).
* Explain how to escape callable macro names, and provide examples.

i386. Stop abusing it on other archs for controling a shutdown by
pressing the soft power button:
* Add a MI sysctl hw.allowpowerdown; if set to 1 (the default) it
allows a power button shutdown.
* Make acpi(4)/acpibtn(4) honor hw.allowpowerdown.
* Switch the various power button intercepts on landisk, sgi, sparc64
and zaurus over to hw.allowpowerdown.
* Garbage collect the machdep.kbdreset sysctl on all archs other than
amd64 and i386.

jmc@ agrees that it's easiest to first commit it,
then tweak it in the tree

as a first step to get rid of the frequent petty warnings in this area:
- always store dates as strings, not as seconds since the Epoch
- for input, try the three most common formats everywhere
- for unrecognized format, just pass the date though verbatim
- when there is no date at all, still use the current date
Originally triggered by a one-line patch from Tim van der Molen,
<tbvdm at xs4all dot nl>, which is included here.
Feedback and OK on manual parts from jmc@.
"please check this in" kristaps@

heavily based on a patch from kristaps@ with some tweaks by me.
- Also talk about -Tps and -Tpdf.
- Use the same list style as in the other mandoc manuals.
- Replace a few macros by ones better suited.
- Some improvements of wording.
