Update of bug #59415 (project groff): Severity: 3 - Normal => 1 - Wish Status: None => Invalid Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #1: It is blatantly obvious that groff does not follow the recommendations of the mandoc project for writing manual pages. There is a huge number of ways in which groff manual pages are systematically and deliberately written in a way that is clearly discouraged by the mandoc project. Some of the suggestions of the mandoc project have been discussed and rejected. Some have not been discussed. Many are of minor importance (in particular of less importance than those explicitly rejected). While mandoc -T lint *can* be used to detect syntactic and stylistic oversights in groff documentation, that is tedious work because the main job is filtering out the huge amount of messages that the groff project does *not* want to do anything about. Dumping mostly useless output that anybody interested can trivially generate themselves is an unwelcome distraction. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59415> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
