Summary: [man, ms]: man pages are not compatibility-wrapper aware Project: GNU troff Submitted by: gbranden Submitted on: Sat 07 Nov 2020 06:08:37 AM UTC Category: Macro - others Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Documentation Status: Need Info Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Evidently it doesn't confuse many people, or the macro package compatibility-wrapper feature is little-used (or both), but our man pages for man and ms are technically wrong because they don't refer to their implementations with the wrapper prefix. See Makefile.am:247-277. Also lines 917-920 for where the actual substitutions take place. The mm package already does this correctly, so it should be pretty easy to ape. I'm a bit curious why this hasn't been done for mdoc. Don't the BSDs still have their own mdoc macro package (upon which ours was originally based but then heavily groffified), or do they rely exclusively on mandoc/mdocml for their mdoc rendering needs these days? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59425> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
