Hi all,
As someone who's much more familiar with mdoc(7) than man(7), is
there an approximate 'correspondence table' somewhere that gives
at least a rough sense of which man(7) macros to use when, in an
mdoc(7) context, one would use a given mdoc(7) macro? Such a table
might look something like (to use some obvious probable
correspondences):
| mdoc(7) | man(7) | Notes
+---------+--------+-------
| Lk | UR |
| Op | OP |
| Sh | SH |
| Ss | SS |
| ⋮ | ⋮ |
i recognise that there's no bijection in general, and that
specific mappings might differ between projects (e.g. the Linux
man-pages project might use a certain man(7) macro where a
different project uses another), but even a project-specific table
would be helpful to me.
i thought there might be such a table in either groff_man(7) or
groff_man_style(7), but nothing leapt out ....
Alexis.
