Update of bug #62926 (project groff):
Severity: 1 - Wish => 5 - Blocker
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #2:
Kicking up to blocker severity because this needs to be dealt with as best we
can before 1.23.0 finalizes.
It should surprise no one that my idea is to support the `MF` string in
_mdoc_(7) just as is already done in _man_(7).
I reckon this would be used to style `Xr`'s first argument, `Nm`' first (or
implied) argument, and the page header.
While I'm in the neighborhood, page footers are _already_ out of sync between
man and mdoc when continuously rendering, and probably have been for as long
as the continuous rendering feature has existed. mdoc repeats the `Os` info
on the right-hand side; man repeats the page title and parenthesized section.
Ingo will want to set "MF=R(R)" (so to speak) in some location that is not
straightforwardly modifiable by OpenBSD users. I note that groff has used the
equivalent of "MF=CR(R)" for typesetter devices for a very long time.
