- .Fn and .Fc now print a final semicolon (`;') after a
function declaration in the SYNOPSIS
- .%I implemented
- .At outputs ``AT&T UNIX'' if called without arguments
- minor cleanup

- spell the abbreviation of 1003.1 as ``POSIX.1''
- fixed the description of -p1003.1-90; it was sold as ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990
- removed -p1003.1b; it only existed as 1003.1b-1993 (-p1003.1b-93), and
is part of 1003.1 since 1003.1-1996.
- replaced -p1003.1g (project) with -p1003.1g-2000 (approved draft)
- changed abbreviation of -isoC from ``ISO C'' to ``ISO C89''
- removed -iso9899 alias for -isoC
- IEC was missing from some names
- added abbreviation for -susv2 (``SUSv2'')
If the -tag list definition didn't have a -width modifier,
the first .It call was supposed to set the width depending
on the first argument type; if it is a macro name, use the
macro's width value; otherwise, use width value of `No'.
The following two lists should produce identical output:
.Bl -tag -width Er -compact
.It Er EINVAL
invalid argument
.El
.Bl -tag -compact
.It Er EINVAL
invalid argument
.El
If the outermost -tag list definition did't have a -width
modifier, the .It elements of inner lists might not work
(producing a list where each successive element `walks' to
the right).
Example:
.Bl -tag -compact
.It outer
.It outer
.Bl -tag -compact
.It inner
.It inner
.El
.It outer
.It outer
.El

default .Ar argument as an end-of-sentence character.
Example:
.Ar
foo
Produced:
file ... foo
Now produces:
file ... foo
2. Fixed an off-by-one bug in the .It macro for the -hang lists.
Example:
.Bl -hang -width 8n -compact
.It 1234
OK
.It 1234567
OK
.It 12345678
BUG
.El
Produced:
1234 OK
1234567 OK
12345678 BUG
Now produces:
1234 OK
1234567 OK

2. Disable recognition of end-of-sentence characters in text-type
macro arguments.
3. Fix the missing space bug when an end-of-sentence character was
followed by another punctuation character.
4. Fix the bug where hyphenation was left disabled after .Re.

line and to automatically emit a line break for a non-first
synopsis line. It does not require it anymore.
The following now works as expected:
.Sh NAME
.Nm utility
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Cm start
.Nm
.Cm stop
One can now, for example, write:

use of the .ne requests. groff(1) apparently inserts some virtual trap at
the end of each page, and this was causing the .ne request to output extra
lines. Solution is to only use them in troff mode.
Also fixed a related bug in .It macros, where it would insert a page break
in the middle of a sentence.
Removed the end of page trap in nroff mode, as this causes .sp requests to
sometimes eat the space due to the nearby trap.
Removed blank line that appeared as the first line on each nroff-formatted
manual page.

following code:
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
and it will be rendered to:

page of -mdoc manual pages in troff mode. The problem has been
introduced in rev 1.12; apparently ending a line inside a macro
definition with \c doesn't behave as Bill expected, and troff was
fooled to believe previous output was already pending thus a new page
needed to be emitted. Using a troff comment .\" instead of \c seems
to solve this, alas the brain^Wnice sed(1) magic needs to be taught to
_not_ strip those comments now.
I think -stable is not affected by this.
the argument is a known FreeBSD version or not.
Output an nroff error if .Fx is used with an unknown FreeBSD version.
Change .Nx and .Ox macros to always display the argument, whether
the argument is a known version or not. This eliminates much of the
need to syncrhonize .Nx and .Ox with their source OS's -- only the
exceptions (like ".Nx 1.2a" -> "NetBSD 1.2A") where the argument is
not directly copied to the output need to be added.
