mandoc(1) has been made the default manual page + formatter on HEAD -- man(1) will use mandoc(1) to + format manual pages by default, then fall back to + groff(1) if it fails.

+ +

This change also fixes an issue with FreeBSD man(1) + command not able to properly deal with ".so" in gzipped manual + pages.

+ +

The documentation team has spent a lot of time fixing issues + reported by mdoc(7) in the FreeBSD manual pages. This + greatly improves the quality of our manual pages.

+ +

Most manual pages with remaining issues are from contrib/ for + which changes should be reported and fixed upstream.

+ +

The "manlint" target has also been switch to use mandoc + -Tlint which results in the target being way more useful + when working on manual pages.

+ +

Some groff(1) vs mandoc(1) formatting + differencies have been spotted and reported to mandoc's upstream + developers.

+ + + + Switch makewhatis(1) to the version shipped with mandoc(1) + Figure out a way to detect non mandoc(1) friendly manpages from ports and create catpages with groff(1) for them + Remove groff(1) from base. + + +
