2021-04-30  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/s.tmac (BX): Add alternative implementation for terminal
	{nroff} devices.  Store width of boxed text, adding .4m only on
	troff devices (to make room for the vertical box lines).  Break
	long input line in troff implementation.  If not in troff mode,
	use ISO 6429 color escapes to render boxed text in black on
	white.  Use the \Z escape to match breaking semantics of macro
	in troff mode.

	* doc/groff.texi (Highlighting in ms) <BX>:
	* doc/ms.ms (Highlighting) <BX>:
	* tmac/groff_ms.7.man (Usage/Highlighting) <BX>: Document it.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60477>.

2021-04-30  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/doc.am: Make $(PROCESSEDDOCFILES) depend on all the same
	targets as $(PROCESSEDEXAMPLEFILES); this way the me, ms, and
	pic.ms manuals are all regenerated upon changes to their
	underlying macro packages.

2021-04-22  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* INSTALL.extra: Update.
	(Evaluation): New section updates material on "test-groff"
	script.  Also tell people how to preview our Texinfo manual (in
	info, text, DVI, PDF, and HTML formats).
	(In Case of Trouble): New section updates bug reporting URL.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57863>.

2021-04-21  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/s.tmac: Make the FAM string work more sensibly; it now
	applies to headers, footers, and footnotes only if set
	before the first call of a sectioning, paragraphing, or
	{non-date} document description macro.
	(PT, BT): Set the font family to that saved for titles.
	(fn*do-FS): Set the font family to that saved for footnotes.
	(par@init): Copy the document font family to independent strings
	for titles and footnotes.
	(par@reset): If in a footnote environment, set the font family
	to that saved for footnotes; otherwise use \*[FAM].

	* tmac/groff_ms.7.man (Differences from troff ms/Text settings):
	Describe placement-dependent effect of FAM string setting.

	* doc/groff.texi (Highlighting in ms):
	* doc/ms.ms (Highlighting): As above, and suggest different
	occasions in which ".ds FAM C" and "CW" are convenient.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60422>.

2021-04-19  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* src/roff/troff/input.cpp (source, source_quietly,
	macro_source, macro_source_quietly): Use idiomatic Boolean
	literals.

2021-04-17  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/groff.texi: Drop workarounds for Texinfo pre-5.0 versions;
	our local macros produced many warnings during generation of our
	Texinfo manual.
	(Langlemacro):
	(Ranglemacro):
	(Lparenmacro):
	(Rparenmacro):
	(Lbrackmacro):
	(Rbrackmacro): Delete.  Replace call sites with literals.
	(Lbracemacro):
	(Rbracemacro): Delete.  Replace call sites with @lbracechar{}
	and @rbracechar{}.
	(angles): Reimplement in terms of @guilsinglleft{} and
	@guilsinglright{}.  Flesh out comment.

	Fixes remainder of <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59524>.

2021-04-17  Dave Kemper <saint.snit@gmail.com>

	* doc/meintro.me:
	* doc/meref.me: Correct and make consistent usage of the term
	"point size".

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60403>.

2021-04-17  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/an-old.tmac (SS): Add devtags support.  Set a subsection
	title as a second-level heading and add it to a table of
	contents, if any.  Prompted by a query from Hans Unzner to the
	groff mailing list.  Thanks, Hans!

2021-04-17  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/an-old.tmac (SH): Fix apparent thinko.  Pass the devtags
	macro a literal "1" argument.  Passing it \n[an-level] wasn't
	correct (it stores the relative inset level, not a sectioning
	level), and was useless anyway: SH has already called
	.an-set-margin by this point, which resets \n[an-level] to 1.
	man(7) does not support nesting of SH macros.  Also call
	.DEVTAG-NH by its alias .DEVTAG-SH since section headings are
	not numbered in man(7).

2021-04-15  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	[tmac]: Adjust editor file encoding hints.

	* tmac/cs.tmac: Tell Vim the file is "iso-8859-2" (ISO Latin-2).
	* tmac/en.tmac: Stop telling Emacs the file is "latin-1"; it's
	ASCII.
	* tmac/fr.tmac: Tell Vim file is "iso-8859-15" (ISO Latin-9).

	Vim users may need to use ":e ++enc=iso-8859-2", for instance,
	to see correct glyphs.

2021-04-15  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Determine the groff locale (default input language) using the
	system locale.  Use the environment if possible.  Try LC_ALL
	first, then LANG.  "C" means English (en).  Otherwise, only the
	first two characters of the locale name are used.

	Unrecognized locales (those without a supporting xx.tmac file)
	are ignored, and groff falls back to English.

	Those who want groff's default locale to differ from LC_ALL/LANG
	should edit the troffrc file to source the appropriate groff
	locale macro file (cs.tmac, de.tmac, den.tmac, fr.tmac, ja.tmac,
	sv.tmac, zh.tmac).

	The first-order determinant of hyphenation points is language,
	not territory.  Use ISO 639 2-letter language codes for
	hyphenation and exception patterns instead of ISO 3166 2-letter
	territory codes.

	* tmac/*.us: Rename *.us files to *.en.
	* tmac/troffrc: Change hyphenation language "us" to "en".
	* tmac/en.tmac: Add English localization file.  Set hyphenation
	mode to 4.
	* tmac/troffrc: Derive groff locale from system.

	* doc/groff.texi (Manipulating Hyphenation):
	* man/groff.7.man (Hyphenation):
	* man/groff_diff.7.man (Implementation differences): Refer to
	"U.S. English" hyphenation patterns as simply "English"; they
	will be mostly correct for Commonwealth English as well, and no
	alternative English hyphenation patterns for other territories
	are available.

	* doc/groff.texi (Manipulating Hyphenation):
	* man/groff_diff.7.man (New requests): Note that default
	hyphenation mode depends on the language used on the system.
	Add concept index entry for localization.  Add file index
	entries for the locale macro files (cs.tmac, etc.).  Add
	environment variable index entries for LANG and LC_ALL.
	Describe how groff's idea of the locale is determined.  Update
	to reflect rename of English hyphenation patterns and .hla
	identifier from "us" to "en".

	* src/roff/groff/tests/localization_works.sh: Add 10 test cases.
	* src/roff/groff/groff.am (groff_TESTS): Run test.

	* tmac/LOCALIZATION: Rewrite.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59814>.

2021-04-12  Dave Kemper <saint.snit@gmail.com>

	* doc/meref.me: Correct various small issues.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60379>.

2021-04-12  Dave Kemper <saint.snit@gmail.com>

	* man/groff.7.man (Registers/Writable registers) <year, yr>:
	Drop discussion of Y2K issues.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60372>.

2021-04-11  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/groff.texi (Setting Registers) <rnn>: Fix error; the
	request is not ignored if the second argument (the new name)
	does not exist.  Problem dates back to 52a6d12a (11 May 2000).

2021-04-09  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Implement new .soquiet and .msoquiet requests.

	Needed for two planned developments: {1} the i18n patch in
	Savannah #59814 can use this to quietly attempt to open a
	localization file.  groff only supports a few locales, so people
	with LANG=es_ES, for instance, would ordinarily see warning
	diagnostics on every groff startup; and {2} system- or
	site-configurable support of per-user {.,}troffrc or man.local
	files, gracefully failing if they don't exist.

	* src/roff/troff/input.cpp:
	(do_source): Add new function, taking boolean "quietly"
	parameter and absorbing function of source(), with added
	conditional.
	(source): Convert into a wrapper to call do_source() unquietly.
	(source_quietly): Wrap do_source(), quietly.
	(do_macro_source, macro_source, macro_source_quietly): Analogous
	to the foregoing.
	(init_requests): Hook "msoquiet" to macro_source_quietly() and
	"soquiet" to "source_quietly().

	* doc/groff.texi (I/O):
	* man/groff.7.man (Requests/Request short reference):
	* man/groff_diff.7.man (Language/New requests): Document them.

	* src/roff/groff/tests/msoquiet_works.sh:
	* src/roff/groff/tests/soquiet_works.sh: Test them.

	* src/roff/groff/groff.am (groff_TESTS): Add tests.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59973>.

2021-04-08  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/groff.texi (ms Document Control Settings) <FF>: Update
	description to cover application of footnote format to footnote
	markers in general, not just numbers.  Clarify different
	behavior of format 1 with respect to automatic numbers and other
	markers.
	(ms Footnotes) <*>: Describe string operation in more detail.
	<FS>: Describe more precisely how the optional argument is
	handled.

	* doc/ms.ms (Footnotes): Synchronize with doc/groff.texi.  Add
	example using document's own text as a model.

	* tmac/groff_ms.7.man (Usage/Footnotes): Resync relevant
	portions with doc/ms.ms.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60227>.

2021-04-06  Dave Kemper <saint.snit@gmail.com>

	* src/roff/nroff/nroff.sh: Recognize -k and -K options and pass
	them through to troff.  Document them in usage message.
	* src/roff/nroff/nroff.1.man: Document new -k and -K options.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60349>.

2021-04-06  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/groff.texi (Manipulating Hyphenation):
	Recast introductory paragraph to better distinguish between the
	automatic breaking of words and placement of hyphens at
	user-specified hyphenation points (done with the \% escape) and
	automatic determination of hyphenation points within words (what
	the pattern files and most of the hyphenation mode parameters
	are for).  Clarify that what our manual calls "automatic
	hyphenation" pertains only to the latter.
	<hw> Correct over-general claim; hyphenation exceptions defined
	with the .hw request _do_ honor .hy value 2 (don't break a word
	at the bottom of a page), but none of the others.
	<\%> Recast description of escape to emphasize independence of
	its two uses (e.g., "\%pseudo\%unununium" is hyphenated only
	after "pseudo-", if at all).
	<\:> Clarify that escape is an input word boundary.
	<shc> Clarify that the soft hyphen glyph is applied to manual as
	well as automatically-determined hyphenation points.
	<hy> Recharacterize as setting the _automatic_ hyphenation mode.
	Note that restrictions apart from value 2 are not applied to
	words with manually-assigned hyphenation points.
	<nh> Note that request affects only automatic hyphenation.

	* man/groff.7.man (Requests/Request short reference) <.hy,.nh>:
	Clarify that requests deal with _automatic_ hyphenation.
	(Registers/Read-only registers) <.hy>:
	Clarify that register applies to _automatic_ hyphenation.
	(Hyphenation): Add new introductory paragraph summarizing manual
	hyphenation support and features, including notice that breaking
	at explicit hyphens is performed in fill mode, i.e., even if
	_automatic_ hyphenation is disabled.

	Thanks to Peter Schaffter for the report.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60332>.

2021-03-27  Deri James  <deri@chuzzlewit.myzen.co.uk>

	Changes to the ghostscript fontnames (9.53.3).

	* font/devpdf/Foundry.in: HI and HBI switch to using
	Italic rather than Oblique.

2021-03-24  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/groff.texi (Manipulating Filling and Adjustment):
	* man/groff_diff.7.man (Language/Extended requests): Fix
	incorrect claim that additional inter-sentence space is applied
	only in fill mode.  Drop word "parameter" from description of
	unit used in .ss request arguments; it is a needlessly specific
	reference to the font file format.  Tighten wording.

	* man/groff.7.man (Control Characters): Fix incorrect claim that
	end-of-sentence detection is attempted only in fill mode.  Note
	that .ss request also affects inter-word spacing.

	* man/groff_diff.7.man (Language/Extended requests):
	  - Drop example.
	  - Move discussion of AT&T vs. GNU troff difference in .ss
	    handling from here...
	  (Implementation Differences): ...to here.

	Thanks to Dave Kemper for his continued scrutiny!

2021-03-20  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/groff.texi (ms Cover Page Macros):
	* doc/ms.ms (Cover page macros):
	* tmac/groff_ms.7.man (Usage/Cover page macros): Revise and
	rename (sub)sections to "Document description macros".

2021-03-15  Dave Kemper <saint.snit@gmail.com>

	* Makefile.am: Fix typos.  Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason for
	the report.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59457>.

2021-03-14  Dave Kemper <saint.snit@gmail.com>

	* man/groff_tmac.5.man: Correct erroneous reference to PSPIC
	where PDFPIC was intended.  Fix numerous smaller style and
	content problems.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60229>.

2021-03-03  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/groff.texi (Optional man extensions) <CW, EX, PN, Pn>:
	(Highlighting in ms) <CW>:
	(Additional ms macros) <CW>: Use "monospaced" to refer to font
	selected, retaining "constant-width" term only where it explains
	the macro mnemonic.  Thanks to Dave Kemper for pointing out the
	issue.  Also fix error: .CW in the ms package seems to have
	originated with Research Unix, not Berkeley.

	* doc/ms.ms (Highlighting) <CW>: Sync with our Texinfo manual.
	* tmac/groff_ms.7.man: Sync with ms.ms, omitting FAM advice.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60037>.

2021-03-02  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/groff.texi (Identifiers, Strings, Writing Macros,
	Diversions): Improve cross-linkage of documentation regarding
	shared name space of macros, strings, diversions, and boxes.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58995>.

2021-03-01  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/s.tmac: Improve diagnostic messages.
	(@diag): New macro wraps .tm request, always prefixing it with
	the name of the macro package, as well as file and line
	indicators only if these are set to non-empty or non-zero
	values, respectively.
	(@error, @warning): Call @diag instead of .tm directly.
	(@fatal): Retire; it had only one call site and it would have
	greatly complicated @diag to support calling .ab instead of .tm.
	An ugly alternative would have been to call .ab with a redundant
	message after calling @diag.
	(@divert): New macro wraps .di request, remembering the name of
	the current file (\n[.F]) when a diversion is started.
	(@error-recover): Call .ab instead of (deleted) @fatal.
	(pg@super-eject): Tell user what the last file name seen was
	when recovering from an unfinished diversion when processing
	ends.

2021-02-25  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Fix bug where having line numbering off but the output line
	number register \n[ln] set to a positive value would cause
	tbl(1) table rows to spontaneously become numbered.  Use new
	\n[.nm] register to determine whether line numbering is enabled.

	* src/preproc/tbl/table.cpp (table::init_output, table::do_row,
	table::do_bottom): Predicate all conditions on \n[ln]
	additionally on \n[.nm].

	Thanks to Olle Lögdahl for the report.  Problem appears to date
	back to commit b69062693d3360efce9d4d63fac337be21e07db7, 20 July
	2011.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59812>.

2021-02-25  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Add regression test for Savannah #59812.

	* src/preproc/tbl/tests/cooperate-with-nm-request.sh: Do it.
	* src/preproc/tbl/tbl.am (tbl_TEST): Run test.

2021-02-25  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Implement new read-only register ".nm".  It reports the
	enablement status of output line numbering (caused by the .nm
	request) irrespective of the temporary suspension of numbering
	with the .nn request.  Needed because there was no way to
	introspect its state, tbl(1) needs to do so, and the writable
	line number register \n[ln] is not a reliable proxy for it.

	* src/roff/troff/env.h: Add get_numbering_nodes(), returning
	`int`, to public interface of `environment` class.
	* src/roff/troff/env.cpp: Implement get_numbering_nodes().

	* src/roff/groff/tests/dot-nm_register_works.sh: Test it.
	* src/roff/groff/groff.am (groff_TESTS): Run test.

	* doc/groff.texi (Miscellaneous):
	* man/groff_diff.7.man (Language/New number registers):

	* NEWS: Add item.

2021-02-23  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/s.tmac: Emit warning diagnostic when using a multi-page
	table with a repeating header (".TS H").
	(KS): Rename diversion from "kp*div" to "kp@div" since the name
	is now referenced outside the keep module.
	(KF): ...similarly for kp@fdiv.
	(generally): Update diversion dereference sites and derived
	names.
	(@TS): When handling "H" argument, check identity of current
	diversion and emit appropriately worded warning.

2021-02-14  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* FOR-RELEASE: Add more procedures and information related to
	incrementing groff's version number.

2021-02-14  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* src/libs/libgroff/searchpath.cpp (search_path::open_file,
	search_path::open_file_cautious): Save errno before calling
	free() and restore it afterwards.  A future version of POSIX
	will require that free() not change errno if it succeeds[1];
	some C library implementations, including recent versions of
	glibc[2], lack this property.  free() is called in these
	libgroff functions to clean up after an unsuccessful fopen() of
	a heap-allocated file name string, and because the errno from
	fopen() may be passed to strerror() in a diagnostic message, it
	needs to be accurate.  I checked the rest of groff's codebase
	and found no other instances of free() being used to clean up
	after fopen() failure.

	[ms]: Demote definition of \[yogh] special character escape from
	unconditional availability to be defined only if the output
	device defines it or if .AM macro is called to enable support
	for Berkeley-style accent marks.

	See

2021-02-03  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* src/preproc/tbl/table.cpp (table::init_output): Save value of
	hyphenation maximum consecutive line count register (\n[.hlm])
	more carefully to keep it from being incorrectly parsed as a
	decrement, because negative values of \n[.hlm] are valid (in
	fact, "-1" is the default).  In documents with a large number of
	tables, this can lead to a Persian chessboard problem and an
	integer overflow (at the groff language level, caught and
	handled by src/roff/troff/number.cpp:parse_term()).

	It is wise to wrap a non-literal second argument to the .nr
	request in parentheses if assignment is desired and its value
	can be negative.  See section 5.6.1 ("Setting Registers") of the
	groff Texinfo manual.

	* src/roff/troff/input.cpp (open_mac_file): Report problem when
	attempting to open macro files (-m arguments) and the error is
	something other than ENOENT.
	(process_macro_file): Update diagnostic to be more precise; the
	file couldn't be _opened_, not necessarily _found_, and clarify
	that the string being reported back to the user is the argument
	to the -m option, not a file name.
	(macro_source): Update diagnostic to report that the file
	couldn't be _opened_, not necessarily _found_, and include the
	nature of the problem.

	[tbl]: Save and restore hyphenation parameters.

	* src/preproc/tbl/table.cpp (table::init_output): When starting
	a table, save the hyphenation parameters (\n[.hy], \n[.hla],
	\n[.hlm], \n[.hym], \n[.hys]).  Restore them in the table reset
	macro (confusingly called "3init"), which is called before
	performing each diversion and before exiting a table.

	This enables people to, e.g., turn off hyphenation in a table
	text block with .nh, just as they can turn off adjustment with
	.na, without having to manually reset it.  The next text block,
	and the material after the table, will not be affected.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59971>.

2021-01-29  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/ms.ms (Document control settings): Document old FAM string
	and new FR string.

2021-01-29  T. Kurt Bond <tkurtbond@gmail.com>

	[ms]: Add new string FR to hold an expression for computing the
	footnote length relative to the line length, consistently for
	single- and multi-column modes, which \n[FL] has never done.

	* tmac/s.tmac: Initialize FR string to "11/12".
	(@MC): Compute footnote column width using \*[FR] instead of a
	hard-coded "11/12" expression.
	(par@init): Compute default \n[FL] using \*[FR] instead of a
	hard-coded "11/12" expression.

	* doc/groff.texi (Macro Packages/ms/Document control settings):
	* tmac/groff_ms.7.man (Usage/Document control registers):
	Document it.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59605>.

2021-01-25  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* src/roff/troff/env.cpp: Add ADJUST_MAX enumeration constant to
	record maximum valid numerical adjustment mode.
	(adjust): Verify numeric argument against ADJUST_MAX instead of
	a numeric literal.  Ignore excessively large values instead of
	setting adjustment mode to "right".  Update warning diagnostic.

2021-01-20  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* src/roff/grog/grog.pl: Report program name in fatal error
	diagnostics.  Also drop sentence-ending punctuation since Perl
	supplies additional information.

	Continues the long process of fixing Savannah #52463.

2021-01-19  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Improve style of troffrc{,-end} files.  Follow established
	idioms and make them consistent with each other.

	* tmac/troffrc:
	* tmac/troffrc-end:
	  - Identify files in header comments as part of GNU troff.

	* tmac/troffrc:
	  - Clarify purpose of .do request.
	  - Identify .X (set by groff -X) as a register, not a string.
	  - Remove temporary registers one per line to make
	    synchronization with foregoing logic easier.  Fixes name
	    space management nits: an undefined string troffrc!Xps was
	    being removed, and troffrc!{ascii,latin1,utf8,cp1047} were
	    not being removed despite being defined.

	* tmac/troffrc-end:
	  - Clarify that file is read after -m file arguments (not "all
	    macro sets", which can be loaded with .mso after this file
	    is processed).
	  - Advise usage of .do for groff extensions.
	  - Line-break one-off conditionals as troffrc does.
	  - Add empty string comment to empty string definitions.

	Commit 87edb525, from 2003, added character U+2026 (HORIZONTAL
	ELLIPSIS) to most base groff fonts, but there has been no
	kerning information for this character.  To produce consistent
	typography, it should be kerned the same way as the period,
	which is in 818 kern pairs across all the devps fonts.

	Apply the following shell command to the groff description files
	of the PostScript fonts.

	  for file in font/devps/*[A-Z]
	    do sed -Ei\~ 's/(.*)(^| )\. (.*)/&\n\1\2u2026 \3/' $file

	* src/libs/libgroff/relocate.cpp (set_current_prefix) [_WIN32]:
	Move declaration of `pathextstr` to lie within preprocessor
	conditional, since it is dereferenced only there.

2021-01-10  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Add support for strsignal().

	POSIX.1-2008 added strsignal() to the C library and recommended
	its use over sys_siglist[], but groff's pipeline management
	hadn't been updated in that respect since that time.

	* configure.ac: Check for strsignal().
	* src/roff/groff/pipeline.c (xstrsignal): Return strsignal() if
	it is defined.

	Thanks to an anonymous contributor for the report and the patch.

2021-01-06  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* src/libs/libgroff/relocate.cpp (relocatep): Add assertion to
	identify logic error if `curr_prefix` is unexpectedly a null
	pointer.
	(set_current_prefix) [_WIN32]: Allocate memory from heap for
	`curr_prefix` only on Windows; on other systems, this file's
	searchpath() is used to populate `curr_prefix`, and that
	function (except on Windows) performs its own allocation.  Fixes
	memory leak noted by Ingo Schwarze.
	(set_current_prefix) [!_WIN32]: Move logic attempting to set
	`curr_prefix` by calling searchpathext() from here...
	[WIN32]: ...to here.  The PATHEXT environment variable has
	semantics only under Windows, not POSIX systems, so the
	placement of this code seemed erroneous.

	* contrib/glilypond/glilypond.pl:
	* contrib/gperl/gperl.pl:
	* contrib/gpinyin/gpinyin.pl:
	* tmac/hyphenex.pl: Avoid Perl's unsafe "<>" operator.

	The "<>" operator is implemented using the two-argument form of
	"open", which interprets magic such as pipe characters, allowing
	execution of arbitrary commands which is unlikely to be
	expected.  Perl >= 5.22 has a "<<>>" operator which avoids this,
	but also forbids the use of "-" to mean the standard input,
	which is a facility that the affected groff programs document.

	ARGV::readonly would probably also fix this, but I fundamentally
	dislike the approach of escaping data in preparation for a
	language facility to unescape it, especially when the required
	escaping is as non-obvious as it is here.  (For the same reason,
	I prefer to use subprocess invocation facilities that allow
	passing the argument list as a list rather than as a string to
	be interpreted by the shell.)  So I've abandoned this dubious
	convenience and changed the affected programs to iterate over
	command-line arguments manually using the three-argument form of
	open.

	glilypond doesn't need the initial unshift since that's already
	handled in contrib/glilypond/args.pl.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55557>.

2021-01-06  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Document use of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH and TZ.

	The semantics of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to groff were not established
	with respect to time zone selection, prompting divergent
	interpretations; Debian and distributions derived from it have
	for several years patched groff to implicitly use UTC as the
	time zone when interpreting the current time (or
	SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH) as a local time.  While a convenient and
	defensible choice for reproducible build efforts[1], it runs
	against the grain of user expectations.  Systems programmers
	like monotonically increasing clocks; the broader user base
	usually prefers a clock that follows an applicable civil
	calendar.  To the latter audience, a difference between
	  $ date "+%Y-%M-%d %H:%m:%S"
	and
	  $ groff <<EOF
	  .af year 0000
	  .af mo 00
	  .af dy 00
	  .af hours 00
	  .af minutes 00
	  .af seconds 00
	  .tm \n[year]-\n[mo]-\n[dy] \n[hours]:\n[minutes]:\n[seconds]
	  EOF
	is difficult to explain.

	{as seconds since the Epoch} to local time, which motivates
	documentation of the TZ environment variable.  Explain what the
	time stamps are used for: troff merely stores the human-readable
	time components in registers; the grohtml, gropdf, and grops
	output drivers write the information to the output in comments.

	* doc/doc.am (.texi.dvi): Call texi2dvi with FORCE_SOURCE_DATE=1

	generated groff.dvi file, which frustrated reproducible builds.
	Thanks to Werner Lemberg for the suggestion.

	* src/roff/groff/tests/string_case_xform_unicode_escape.sh: Fix
	test to no longer use Bash process substitution, resulting in
	nondeterministic file descriptor numbers appearing in test logs,
	frustrating reproducible builds.

	* contrib/pdfmark/pdfmark.am (PDFROFF): Call pdfroff without

	* src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.pl:
	* src/utils/afmtodit/afmtodit.pl: Sort Perl hash keys.  Hash

	output to avoid this.

2020-12-20  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/ms.ms (Basic Information): Tweak unit definitions.  groff
	defines a typesetter's point as precisely 1/72 inches.  Also use
	the correct symbol for inch units--strictly, it's the same as
	that for "seconds" as in subdivisions of the degree, and not a
	typographical quote of any sort.

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59463>.

2020-12-20  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	[ms]: Set footnote line length to AT&T default.

	groff ms has since its initial implementation used a default
	footnote line length of 5/6ths of the text line length; this may
	correspond to an early AT&T ms default (perhaps documented in
	the 1974 version of the M. E. Lesk paper, "Typing Documents on
	the UNIX System"[1]).  However, as early as V6 Unix (1975), AT&T
	ms actually used a footnote line length of 11/12ths of the text
	line length instead[2].

	Heirloom Doctools and neatroff ms also use this default.

	* tmac/s.tmac: Set default footnote line length to 11/12ths of
	the text line length.

	Bjarni Ingi Gislason.  I tweaked it to comment it differently
	{in case the buffer ever needs to grow, but the prospects of
	future X11 server-side font rendering development seem dim} and

	* doc/groff.texi: Update.  Add introductory material.  Rewrite
	the first section of the "gtroff Reference" chapter of our
	Texinfo manual.  It is written as an introduction for readers
	who want to go straight to "raw" troff without knowing much or
	anything about existing macro packages.  Thanks to Dave Kemper
	and John Gardner for feedback and support.

	Clarify whitespace usage.  "Whitespace" is defined in this
	manual as "spaces, tabs, and newlines".  Say only "spaces and
	tabs" when newlines should not be included.

	Rename "Font Files" to "Device and Font Files".

	Rename "Manipulating Filling and Adjusting" to "Manipulating
	Filling and Adjustment".

	Update discussion of "copy mode".  Rename from "copy-in mode",
	which I don't think eludicdated anything; is there a "copy-out
	mode"?  Rename nodes accordingly.  Attempt to explain more
	clearly.  Recast to shift emphasis to what _isn't_ merely copied
	in copy mode, since that is what seems to cause confusion among
	the inexperienced.

	Update "Conditionals and Loops".  Add introductory paragraph.
	Add nodes/subsections "if-then" and "Conditional Blocks".  Add

	Add style checks to man(7) macro package.

	Not otherwise documented yet; experimental--subject to change.

	* tmac/an-old.tmac: Initialize CHECKSTYLE to false if not
	already set.
	(an-style-warn): New macro emits diagnostic of type "style" when
	called if CHECKSTYLE register is true.
	(TH): Call an-style-warn if fewer than two or more than five
	arguments are seen.
	(RI, IR, IB, BI, RB, BR): Call an-style-warn if fewer than two
	arguments are seen.

	* src/preproc/tbl/table.cpp (table::compute_separation_factor):
	Add word "table" to diagnostic message to better cue the user
	that it is produced by roff that has been injected into the

	Add support for CS and CT registers to mdoc(7), just like in

	* tmac/mdoc/doc-common-u (Dt): Call .stringup on
	doc-document-title if \n[CT] is true.

	doc-do-capitalize false before returning.
	* tmac/mdoc/doc-ditroff-u:
	* tmac/mdoc/doc-nroff-u: Set CS and CT registers to 0 (false)

	them empty or zero if they are not set).  This reserves them so
	that they don't become used for divergent purposes.  man(1)

	* tmac/s.tmac: Implement \*< and \*> strings for subscripting.
	groff ms has had (extension) strings for superscripting since

2020-10-30  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/s.tmac: Revise diagnostic messages.  Define a common
	prefix string, starting all such messages with "s.tmac".
	Continues the long process of fixing Savannah #52463.  Drop the
	word "macro" from diagnostic since this will now be clear from
	the prefix.  Prefix every macro name in a diagnostic message
	with a leading dot; this was already done in four cases.
	(cov*first-page-init): Use temporary string to avoid multi-line
	diagnostic message.
	(@NH): Use temporary string to prevent overlength line.

	A further benefit of this revision is that index information
	produced by ms's .IX macro (which writes to the standard error
	stream) will now be trivially easy to extract even for documents
	that cause diagnostic messages.  One can simply filter them with
		grep -v '^s\.tmac:'
	or similar.

	Fix ms .TC macro by allowing it to actually use lowercase Roman
	numerals for the page(s) of the table of contents when a custom
	title (header or footer) is defined containing '%'.

	As a side effect, eliminate the PN register, which was
	apparently misused because it was undocumented and had a name
	just long enough to be both suggestive and ambiguous.  Another
	pin goes into my Ken Thompson voodoo doll.

	* tmac/s.tmac (IX): Write out page number of index term(s) using
	the % register (instead of PN), obtaining whatever format is
	assigned to the register at that time.
	(CH): Similarly, output %, not PN, in the center of the default
	heading.
	(PT): Save the format of %, set it to decimal, copy its value to
	a new register, pg*page-number-in-decimal, then restore %'s
	previous format.  Compare the new register, not %, to 1 to
	determine whether special page one behavior should be used.
	(pg*end-page): Assign pg*next-format to %, not PN.
	(XA): Define toc*num with the interpolation of %, not PN.

	* tmac/tests/s_TC-works-with-percent-in-custom-titles.sh: Test.
	* tmac/tmac.am (tmac_TESTS): Run test.

	Problem appears to be very old; as I read it, Larry Kollar was
	complaining of it in his ms.ms document over 20 years ago.

	Emit break warning and return if the output width is not

	* tmac/an-old.tmac: Add fallback for lq, rq strings.

	Define \*(lq and \*(rq as '"' if the output device has no \(lq
	or \(rq special character escapes defined (respectively).

	This is a bit belt-and-suspenders for groff since our output
	devices all guarantee availability of these glyphs, but if this
	macro file gets used with other implementations (and if they
	support the 'c' conditional), it should prevent the strings from
	producing empty output.

	Man page writers should simply use \(lq and \(rq unless they are
	aiming for pathological levels of portability (e.g., composing
	man pages today for consumption on simulators of 1980s Unix
	systems).

2020-10-16  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* src/preproc/tbl/main.cpp (main): Stop ignoring -T.  GNU tbl

	implemented it, something on the system called tbl with that

	is emitted when a table row is to be output without enough room
	before the next page location trap.  The former wording said
	that a "text block" would not fit on the page, and that is
	normally how table rows grow longer than one line in the first
	place.  However, there are other ways the conditional can be
	satisfied, as witnessed in Savannah #57665, so simply say what
	is known; that the table _row_ overruns the space to the next

	* tmac/an-old.tmac: Drop \*[an-empty] string.  This string is
	documented as preventing "looping" (presumably infinitely) if
	someone calls a two-font macro with an inconvenient parameter;
	the example shown is ".RB ( \\ )".  This string was being
	interpolated at the end of each argument pair to the two-font
	macros BI, BR, IB, RB, and RI.  This code dates back to groff
	1.10 (dc5351364982f78f8c630f1e856d692d4a82666f, 26 November
	1995).  Did you notice a two-font macro missing?  It was: IR.
	Using it with the proscribed input fails to cause a problem; the
	others similarly operate just fine when the empty string
	interpolation is removed.  Presumably at some point in the past
	25 years, this workaround became unnecessary.
	(BI, BR, IB, RB, RI): Remove interpolations of string.

	* tmac/an-old.tmac: Refactor continuous rendering handling.
	Relocate set up of \n[cR] to end of file in parallel with other
	rendering parameter management.  Instead of conditionally
	defining the an-ne and an-bp macros, define them
	unconditionally.  Also define them with .de instead of .de1,
	since they will only be called within the contexts of macros
	that are already running with compatibility mode off (i.e., the
	public interface macros).  Relocate definition of an-end to sit
	alongside these other continuous-rendering-mode specific macros
	and avoid a forward reference and scattering of \n[cR]
	conditionals around the file.
	(an-set-up-continuous-rendering): Define new macro to move
	macros (and end macro) into place.  Call it at the end of the
	file only if cR eventually winds up being true.

	* tmac/an-old.tmac: Improve name space management.  Rename .ne

	prevent confusion with renamed request.

2020-09-16  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/an-old.tmac: Drop .ll hack for LL register.

	Drop the .ll hack for setting the line length on nroff devices.

	Once upon a time, the only way to get man pages to render on a
	terminal at any width other than the nroff default of 65n was to
	put an .ll request into the page--a mortal sin against
	portability--or your man(1) program could sneak such a request
	into nroff's input stream.

	Also, long ago, John Eaton of UT Austin wrote a man(1) program.
	In a few years this implementation branched into two lines of
	development, which I'll call man-db man (Wilford/Polacco/Watson)
	and another, Brouwer/Lucifredi man, which as of this writing saw
	its last release in 2011 (1.6g).

	The man and mdoc macros of groff 1.18 (July 2002) introduced an
	LL register to configure the line length, respecting an -rLL
	command-line option.  The source change was made by Werner
	Lemberg on 3 May 2002 and Colin Watson updated man-db man(1)--on
	the same day!--to synthesize the option when calling groff.

	Later, in August 2005, Keith Marshall, a user of vesion 1.5m of
	Brouwer/Lucifredi man(1), which did not set the LL register,
	suggested that the existing .ll setting (technically, the value
	of \n[.l], the only way the result of an .ll request could be
	introspected) be honored in the absence of the LL register.
	However, it is impossible to distinguish a user-supplied ".ll
	65n" request from nroff's default setting, which was in that
	case overridden to the modern default of 78n.

	And so, in what is now git commit
	f9d5df4aebd3d834b4084ffefa52a115e00dce38 (1 September 2005), it
	was done.

	This led to (1) surprising behavior for users accustomed to old
	methods and desirous of the nroff default and (2) lengthy
	apologia in groff source code comments and the groff_man(7) man
	page.

	Ironically, Brouwer/Lucifredi man(1) had already added support
	for the LL register by the time of its 1.6 release two months
	earlier (20 June 2005).  (Curiously, it did so similarly to the
	old .ll hack, by injecting an '.nr LL' request into groff's
	input stream, rather than using the -r command-line option.)
	Moreover, Marshall and the groff list were already aware of
	this, but the change was accepted anyway because version 1.6
	was "too new"!  (Distributions are slow sometimes, true...)

	Let us survey the field in 2020.  man-db man(1) has supported
	the LL register for eighteen years, and Brouwer/Lucifredi man(1)
	for fifteen.  Heirloom Doctools's man macros set the line length
	to 78n on nroff devices unconditionally.  mandoc(1) similarly
	also always formats for 78 columns on terminals.  groff's
	mdoc(7) macros grew support for LL in parallel with man(7) in
	2002 and never added the \n[.l] introspection at all.

	There no longer seems to be any reason to preserve this hack.

	* tmac/an-old.tmac (initialization): Drop complex setup of LL
	register.
	(TH): Relocate line length reset; no behavior change.
	(after .mso man.local): Initialize LL only if the user hasn't;
	use device default in troff mode, and 78n in nroff mode.

	* tmac/groff_man.7.man.in (Options) <-rLL>: Stop documenting .ll
	hack.

2020-09-03  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* makevarescape.sed: Use \[] form of special character escapes.

	The only man page we have that doesn't turn compatibility mode
	off (neqn) also doesn't use any sed-substituted patterns where
	characters replaced by a \[] special character escape form are
	likely to be used.

	The @g@ command prefix is the main avenue for intrusion of such
	escapes, but I think it improbable that many people are going to
	include apostrophes, double quotes, carets, grave accents, or
	tildes in the command prefix; some or all of these will pick
	fights with the shell and require quoting that we don't
	represent in man page text anyway.

	On top of that, neqn is largely a stub page.

	If it's a problem, a better fix than reverting this is to make
	neqn switch out of compatibility mode like our other man pages.

	Adapt to the fact that \: reënables hyphenation.  Rename
	"hyphenless [discretionary] break" to "non-printing break point"
	in documentation.

	* doc/groff.texi (Manipulating Hyphenation): Rename "hyphenless
	break" to "non-printing break point".  Clarify that it is the
	soft hyphen glyph, not necessarily a hyphen, that is ordinarily
	written to the output on hyphenation breaks.  Note that the
	remainder of a word after \: is subject to hyphenation as
	normal.  Note (new) '\:\%' idiom for getting what people will
	want at least some of the time.  Update example to use it.
	* makevarescape.sed: Insert \% after we insert \: to rewrite
	slashes in filenames, to protect later portions of the filename
	from hyphenation.
	* man/groff.7.man (Escape Sequences/Escape short reference):
	Rename "hyphenless break" to "non-printing break point".
	* man/groff_diff.7.man (Language/Escape sequences): Resync with

	Split groff_man(7) into two pages; one a (relatively) terse
	reference and the other a tutorial and style guide.  Both are
	generated from the same source, which is processed by m4 into
	two man page sources.

	* tmac/groff_man.7.man: Rename...
	* tmac/groff_man.7.man.in: ...to this.

	* tmac/groff_man.7.man.in: Add m4 directives and define macros.
	Protect m4 keywords in English from unintended expansion (this
	affected the word "include").  Add new .TH and apropos lines for
	style guide.  Convert marker comments into m4 macros for content
	control.  Uncomment material intended only for basic reference
	page.

	* tmac/tmac.am (man7_MANS): Add groff_man_style.7.
	(EXTRADIST) Add groff_man.7.man.in.
	(MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add m4-generated man page sources
	tmac/groff_man{,_style}.7.man.
	Add targets to generate those same two pages from the renamed
	file.  Add target to grep the page for unprotected English m4
	keywords and halt the build if they are found.  Make generation
	of those pages depend on this new target.

2020-08-11  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/groff_man.7.man: Add material on hooks and encoding.
	(Description, ./Deprecated features): Stop identifying .BT and
	.DT as "deprecated"; they shouldn't ever be called in man pages,
	but that has never been their intention.
	(Description): Identify character encoding and line-ending
	requirements (tutorial/style-guide material).
	(Description/Hooks): Add new subsection to house descriptions of
	.BT and .DT.  Add mnemonic expansions for both.

2020-07-31  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* man/groff.7.man (Control Characters): Incorrect claims were
	made.  Double quotes can indeed be used to enclose arguments to
	string interpolations.  The statement about a leading " in a
	string definition (or appendment with .as) was stated too
	generally.  The leading quote is not necessary to include
	leading tab characters, which can be input as-is, even in
	compatibility mode.

	escape sequences that are synonymous with a nullary .ft had been
	wrongly removed.

2020-07-23  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Migrate macro packages from font CW to CR.  The font name "CW"
	{"constant-width"} is a legacy item we can dispose of (except
	for the DVI device, which also has CWI for "constant-width
	italic"), and much of the groff codebase already did starting
	with commit 0de1d6d79cdb959ffa7dac3af77c2a36ef31873f {October
	2017}.  Courier is available in the usual four styles {roman,
	bold, italic, bold+italic}.

	* tmac/an-ext.tmac (.EX): Set font to R, not CW.  The existing
	.ft request was somewhat redundant with the '.do fam C'
	immediately before, which set the font family to Courier.
	* tmac/s.tmac (.UC): Use font CR, not CW.

2020-07-23  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/tty.tmac: Stop suppressing nonexistent font warning.
	Prompted by a 2017 suggestion and patch from Bjarni Ingi
	Gislason.  Documents and macro packages that want to change the
	font family should do so in awareness that this is meaningless
	on terminal (nroff) devices (and -Thtml as well).

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51364>.

2020-07-18  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/groff_man.7.man (.PP, .LP, .P): Fix error; these macros

2020-07-12  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/groff_man.7.man (.EE, .YS): Fix error; refer to "initial
	hyphenation setting" instead of "previous hyphenation mode".
	Incidentally, this fact points out why putting ".hy 0" or ".nh"
	in your man page is futile.

2020-06-28  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* man/groff.7.man (Requests/Request short reference): Fix error
	in description of .hc; it changes the hyphenation character

2020-06-12  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* doc/groff.texi (Groff Options): Remove editorial comment about
	'-a' option being "useless".  It isn't.  Update example for
	contemporary systems (like Debian) and to reflect the fact that
	the GNU troff(1) man page needs to be preprocessed with tbl(1).
	(Invoking grotty): Recast discussion of -c option, importing
	much language from grotty(1) page rewrite from a year ago.  Add
	program index entries for col, more, and ul.  Fix transposition
	error in ISO document number.

	* src/devices/grotty/grotty.1.man (Description/Legacy output
	format): Make slight wording changes prompted by content of
	parallel section in our Texinfo manual.

	* src/roff/groff/groff.1.man (Options/-a): Parallelize with

2020-06-04  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/an-ext.tmac (.ME, .UE): Fix portability issue.  While

	If groff is not the typesetter, append macro arguments using
	\$1, \$2, ..., \$9 instead.

2020-05-19  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Update documentation of .ss request.

	* doc/groff.texi (Manipulating Filling and Adjusting): Rewrite
	documentation of .ss request and \n[.ss] and \n[.sss] escapes.
	Note that negative values are not permitted in either argument
	to .ss.  Use new terminology, "minimal inter-word spacing" and
	"additional inter-sentence spacing" for clarity.  Clarify that
	additional inter-sentence spacing is only used when the output
	line is not full when the end of a sentence occurs.  Add index
	nodes to help readers find discussion of details of spacing
	between words and sentences.  Move discussion of differences
	from AT&T troff to section "Implementation Differences".  Update
	example to more closely resemble a real-world case, use second
	argument to .ss request, and eliminate hackish use of .nop
	request.

	* man/groff_diff.7.man (New number registers): Recast in
	parallel with the foregoing.

	* man/groff.7.man (Read-only registers): Use new terminology and
	describe \n[.ss] and \n[.sss] in meaningful terms, not by
	reference to arguments to the .ss request (which wasn't even
	accurate, because these registers have default values).

	Fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?54101.

	(detect_file_encoding): Alter debugging output so it's easier to
	grep and verify Emacs coding tag detection.

	* src/preproc/preconv/preconv.1.man (Bugs): Delete; its sole
	concern was the absence of this feature.
	(Usage): Document detection algorithm in more detail.  Note
	which detection methods don't work on unseekable input (pipes).
	Offer recommendations for those struggling with encoding
	detection.
	(Usage/Coding Tags): Stop manipulating line adjustment.  Use
	hyphen-minus (\- escape) characters in coding tag names, since
	they are literals that one might copy and paste.  Stop
	referencing XEmacs, whose development appears moribund.
	(See Also): Add cross-references to iconv(3) and locale(7) man

	The output doesn't look right without one, and it feels

	disjunctively.  I'm trying to strike a balance between the

	(main): Add diagnostics to usage message where the problem is
	clear.  Add comment explaining why it sometimes isn't.
	(usage): Refactor main usage message (which prints the summary)
	to report the actual names of the accepted option arguments
	instead of just "-param", which is not literally accepted.

	Sort param_table alphabetically for use by the usage message.

	* **/*.{man,tmac}: Save compatibility mode robustly.

	Use new \n[.cp] register to save compatibilty mode.

	Use register names based on the filename (at the source
	maintenance level) to avoid clobbering other files' saved
	compatibility modes.

	* tmac/html.tmac: Eliminate test of saved-compatibility
	register by moving its body inside the block where compatibility
	mode is off.  This is the only part of this changeset that was

	Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?58162>.

2020-04-16  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Implement new read-only .cp register.

	Within a .do request, \n[.cp] holds the saved value of
	compatibility mode.

	The register \n[.cp] is specialized and may require a statement
	of rationale.  When writing macro packages or documents that use
	groff features and which may be mixed with other packages or
	documents that do not—common scenarios include serial processing
	of man pages or use of the .so or .mso requests—you may desire
	correct operation regardless of compatibility mode in the
	surrounding context.  It may occur to you to save the existing
	value of \n(.C into a register, say, _C, at the beginning of
	your file, turn compatibility mode off with “.cp 0”, then
	restore it from that register at the end with “.cp \n(_C”.  At
	the same time, a modular design of a document or macro package
	may lead you to multiple layers of inclusion.  You cannot use
	the same register name everywhere or you risk “clobbering” the
	value from a preceding or enclosing context.  The two‐character
	register namespace of AT&T troff is confining and mnemonically
	challenging; you may wish to use groff's more capacious
	namespace.  However, attempting “.nr _my_saved_C \n(.C” will not
	work in compatibility mode; the register name is too long.
	“This is exactly what .do is for,” you think, “.do nr
	_my_saved_C \n(.C”.  The foregoing will always save zero to your
	register, because .do turns compatibility mode off while it
	interprets its argument list.  What you need is:
		.do nr _my_saved_C \n[.cp]
		.cp 0
	at the beginning of your file, followed by
		.cp _my_saved_C
	at the end.  As in the C language, we all have to share one big
	namespace, so choose a register name that is unlikely to collide
	with other uses.

	* src/roff/troff/input.cpp (do_request, init_input_requests):
	Implement it.

	* doc/groff.texi:
	* man/groff.7.man:

2020-04-13  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	It's too easy for the nroff version to get desynced from the
	groff version when we're running test cases, leading to spurious
	results.  Make it easier to see a discrepancy.

	* src/roff/nroff/nroff.sh: Call groff with -v or --version when
	we are called that way.  Let test cases tell us to use
	test-groff as groff with an environment variable.

	* src/roff/nroff/tests/verbose_option_works.sh.in: Rename to...
	* src/roff/nroff/tests/verbose_option_works.sh: ...this.  Check
	the nroff version being tested against the groff version being
	wrapped.  This exposes a bug; the system groff rather than the
	build tree groff was being invoked.  Refactor.  Stop messing
	with @GROFF_BIN_PATH_SETUP@ (enabling the rename); instead, let
	test-groff handle that for us.  Locate it and export the
	variable GROFF_TEST_GROFF so nroff can find it.  Because we
	manipulate $PATH to run the tests, the $PATH of an installed
	groff system will _always_ differ from that used by a build
	tree; ignore it in the test cases.  Dispose of bashisms and set
	shebang to /bin/sh.

	* src/roff/nroff/nroff.am: Stop generating the above test
	script.  It can now be run as it ships.

2020-04-13  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Make our assert() C99-conformant.

	groff has its own implementation of the standard C library's
	assert() macro.  It hasn't been updated since C89.  C99 requires
	that the diagnostic emitted by assert() contain the failing
	expression and name of the function in scope.

	* src/include/assert.h: Add additional pointer to const char
	arguments to do_assert() and assertion_failed() for function
	name and stringified expression.
	(assertion_failed): Update prototype.
	(do_assert): Accept 'func' and 'msg' parameters and pass them to

2020-04-11  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Enable backtracing across process/file boundaries when errors or
	non-ignored warnings are encountered.

	Experimentation reveals that .so, .mso, and .pso requests acted
	as barriers to backtracing except when explicitly requested with
	the .backtrace request.  Judging by the git history, this
	behavior dates back to June 1991 or earlier.  The intention,
	according to a source comment, was only to suppress the
	backtrace output for the line corresponding to the outermost
	level of the input stack (commonly, a file argument to groff).
	Unfortunately, that wasn't its only effect.

	This change does result in one additional line of output for
	each error or (non-ignored) warning when -b is given.  However,
	I regard this as unobjectionable because {1} a backtrace was in
	fact explicitly requested; and {2} it seems a poor tradeoff to
	suppress most of the backtrace in some complicated and
	frustrating cases for the sake of one fewer line of backtrace
	output in a trivial one.

	Now, backtracing behaves the same no matter what triggers it.

	Fixes Savannah #58153.

	* src/roff/troff/input.cpp (file_iterator::backtrace): Call
	get_location() for its side effect of rewriting a filename of
	"-" to "<standard input>", for consistency with other diagnostic
	messages.  (In this class, this member function always returns
	1, so ignore the return value.  This fact is an essential part
	of what led to the bug; the conditional
		p && !p->get_location(0, &f, &n)
	which appeared in the for loop of input_stack::backtrace() prior
	to this change would always evaluate to false when a node of the
	file_iterator class was encountered.)
	(input_stack::backtrace): Replace member function body with that
	of input_stack::backtrace_all().
	(input_stack::backtrace_all): Delete.
	(backtrace_request): Update the only call site of the above.

	* src/roff/groff/tests/regression_savannah_58153.sh: Add test.
	* src/roff/groff/groff.am (groff_TESTS): Run test.

2020-04-10  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Reorganize backtrace output.

	* src/roff/troff/input.cpp (string_iterator::backtrace):
	Prefix the output with the program name if it is known.  In a
	deviation from the GNU Coding Standards, put the string
	"backtrace:" immediately next instead of the file and line
	number; this is because, particularly in cases where the
	backtrace is most interesting or needed, it will produce
	multiple lines of output and the common prefix aids visual
	understanding.
	(file_iterator::backtrace): As above; also, change prefix for
	popened nodes in the iterator from "process" to "pipe".  This
	seemed preferable to omitting the information entirely or using
	an inscrutable sigil like 'f' or 'p'.  The advantage is that the
	output is better aligned--better ergonomics for those who have
	to cope with a lot of it.  Furthermore, output the filename only
	once.

	Example of old and new output:

	/tmp/inner:2: backtrace: file '/tmp/inner'
	echo .so /tmp/inner:1: backtrace: process 'echo .so /tmp/inner'
	/tmp/outer:1: backtrace: file '/tmp/outer'

	troff: backtrace: file '/tmp/inner':2
	troff: backtrace: pipe 'echo .so /tmp/inner':1
	troff: backtrace: file '/tmp/outer':1

2020-04-10  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* src/roff/troff/input.cpp (read_size): Add units to diagnostic.
	This function works only with device-specific basic units
	internally; users likely think in terms of point size, so add
	the basic unit suffix "u" to offer a hint about what's going on.

	Example:
	$ groff -ww >/dev/null
	\s[10]A\s[-12]B
	troff: <standard input>:1: warning: point-size escape results in
	non-positive size -2000u; set to 1u

	On a PostScript device with 1000 basic units to the point, the
	difference is important and would be confusing without the unit
	indication.

2020-04-08  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Correct and clarify point size documentation.

	Our Texinfo manual has long documented the request '.ps 0' as
	restoring the previous point size (just as '\s0' or '.ps' with
	no argument does), but this is incorrect; since groff 1.02 or
	earlier (June 1991), the request has not actually worked this
	way.  Instead, '.ps 0' sets the point size to 1 basic unit
	{though output drivers may clamp this to a higher value}.  This
	behavior is consistent with AT&T troff, Hierloom Doctools troff
	and, per Ingo Schwarze, Plan 9 troff.  (It is, however, not
	consistent with neatroff.)

	* doc/groff.texi (Changing Type Sizes): Stop claiming that '.ps
	0' works like '\s0'.  Note that the resulting (computed) point
	size, not the argument, is clamped.  Note that it is
	non-positive, not negative, point sizes that are clamped to 1u.
	Add (forward) cross-reference to section where \n[.ps] is
	defined since it is mentioned here.  Move explanation of special
	handling of zero argument to \s escape description.

	* man/groff.7.man (Request short reference): Explain .ps N
	independently of \s.  Note clamping behavior.

2020-04-06  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* src/roff/troff/input.cpp (read_size): Correctly brace 'else'
	block.

	* src/roff/groff/tests/\
	use_point_size_escape_with_single_digit_arg.sh:
	Check that we get a diagnostic when relying on ambiguous form.

2020-04-04  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* src/roff/troff/input.cpp (read_size): Move special-case
	interpretation of the '\sN' form of point-size escapes when 'N'
	is 1, 2, or 3 to compatibility mode (groff -C) only, and throw
	error diagnostic with suggestion for remedy if encountered.

	Traditionally, '\s36A' is interpreted as "set point size to 36,
	then emit 'A'".  However, only values in the range 10-39 are
	handled specially; '\s40A' is interpreted as a four-point "0A".
	This is unlike anything else in *roff grammar; see \*, \$, \f,
	\F, \g, \k, \m, \M, \n, \V, \Y, and \z.

	To anticipate objections: Why not throw only a warning?  Because
	there isn't a warning category for supported but ambiguous
	syntax (this behavior of AT&T troff dates back to the mid-1970s
	but was not documented in the Troff User's Manual until 1992).
	Why not throw the error outside of compatibility mode too?
	Because outside of compatibility mode we (now) have an
	unambiguous parse.

	Background: The Graphic Systems C/A/T phototypesetter (the
	original device target for AT&T troff) only supported a few
	discrete point sizes in the range 6..36, so Ossanna
	special-cased the parser to do what the user must have meant.
	Kernighan warned of this in the 1992 revision of CSTR #54
	{§2.3}, and more recently, McIlroy referred to it as a "living
	fossil".

	Improve point-size escape diagnostics.

	* src/roff/troff/input.cpp (read_size): Disclose context
	{point-size escape intepretation} in diagnostic messages.  When
	a "bad digit" is encountered, describe it if possible.  When a

	clarity ("bad" does not refer to all bad parses, just some cases
	of bad digits), and update an insufficiently generalized comment
	{"\s(00" is also an acceptable expression for point-size zero}.

	Stop ms macro package from manipulating warnings.

	* tmac/s.tmac: Remove code block that attempted to enable all
	warnings "only if none are given on the command line".  It did
	this by simply comparing the value of the warn register
	{\n[.warn]} against the default value; but of course, a user
	could specify -w options that exactly matched the default and
	the test would not be able to tell, causing puzzling and
	undesired behavior.  Furthermore, the hard-coded default was out
	of date and did not correspond to recent releases of groff.  If
	you want all warnings on, use the ".warn" request with no
	arguments in your ms document or pass "-w w" to groff (see
	troff(1) or our Texinfo manual for more on warnings).

	Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason for bringing this issue to our

	Accept any number of arguments for .Dd in the groff_mdoc(7)
	macros.

	* tmac/doc-common-u: The .Dd macro behaved in a weird way:
	Without arguments, it printed the string "Epoch".
	With one, two, four, or more arguments, it ignored all arguments
	and used the current date instead.
	Only for exactly three arguments, it printed the arguments.
	None of this made sense.  Giving the date as "Epoch" is
	absurd, and printing the current date is just misleading:
	why should a document be considered up-to-date when the author
	did not even bother to state the date of the last change?
	Admittedly, the behaviour for 0 and 4 or more arguments
	already appeared 4.3BSD-Reno, and the behaviour for 2 or 3
	arguments in 4.4BSD.  But it was already wrong even in those
	days: several manual pages in 4.4BSD gave .Dd a single, quoted
	argument, e.g. .Dd "June 9, 1993": cap_mkdb(1), id(1), sed(1),
	err(3), getcap(3), sysctl(3), amd(8), disklabel(8), and others.
	Consequently, simply print all the arguments, no matter how
	many there are.

	This bug was found by Jonathan Gray <jsg@openbsd.org>

	* tmac/an-old.tmac: Setting user-defined strings in a macro that
	will later be called indirectly from page location traps is
	excessively complicated.  Besides, the implementation doesn't
	work: when the trap is finally sprung, the defaults from the

	Retire '@G@' build system macro.

	It existed only for forcibly-capitalized man page titles; it was
	the uppercase-transformed counterpart of @g@.

	* Makefile.am: Delete sed transformation of @G@.
	* src/preproc/tbl/tbl.1.man: Replace '@G@EQN' in section heading
	with '@g@eqn'.

2019-09-10  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* **/*.man: Downcase man page titles, except for glilypond and
	roff2*, which did not require it.

	Here's a sed script for the aid of those who have a corpus of
	man pages to migrate.

		# Downcase man page titles.
		#
		# Use the first line to skip any .TH lines that require
		# special handling, perhaps because the name of the
		# command gets externally macro-expanded.  In groff, the
		# "roff2.1.man" page is an example.
		#
		# This script operates _only_ on .TH lines.
		#
		# usage: sed -i -f this_script.sed your_man_page.1 ...
		/@ROFF2MODE@/b
		/^\.\s*TH/{
		h
		s/^\.\s*TH \+\([^ ]\+\) .*/\1/
		y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/
		G
		s/\([^ ]\+\)\n\(^\.\s*TH \+\)[^ ]\+\( .*\)/\2\1\3/
		}

	The an (man) macro package supports new CS and CT number
	registers to control rendering of man page section headings and
	titles, respectively, in full capitals.  These default off (with
	no visible effect on pages which already fully capitalize these
	strings in man page sources).  The rationale is to encourage man
	page authors to preserve case distinction information in (or
	restore it to) their titles and section headings, while giving
	users (including system administrators, distributors,
	integrators, and maintainers of man(1) implementations) a way to
	view the rendered page elements in full capitals if desired.

	* tmac/an-old.tmac (TH/an-init): If number register CT is
	defined and nonzero, call .stringup on \*[an-title].
	(SH): Store macro argument list to \*[an-section-heading].  If
	number register CS is defined and nonzero, call .stringup on it.
	* tmac/groff_man.7.man (OPTIONS): Document the CS and CT number
	registers.
	* tmac/tests/an-old_CS_register_off.sh:
	* tmac/tests/an-old_CS_register_on.sh:
	* tmac/tests/an-old_CS_register_unspecified.sh:
	* tmac/tests/an-old_CT_register_off.sh:
	* tmac/tests/an-old_CT_register_on.sh:
	* tmac/tests/an-old_CT_register_unspecified.sh: Add tests.
	* tmac/tmac.am (tmac_TESTS): Run tests.

	Add regression test to check behavior of case transformation
	request on a string containing a Unicode character escape.
	Right now, this is not supported, so it is an XFAIL test in the
	parlance of DejaGNU/POSIX 1003.3.

	* src/roff/groff/tests/string_case_xform_unicode_escape.sh: New
	test.
	* src/roff/groff/groff.am (groff_TESTS): Run test.

2019-09-09  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Implement .stringdown and .stringup requests.

	* src/roff/troff/input.cpp: Add .stringdown and .stringup
	requests.
	* doc/groff.texi: Document them, including example.
	* man/groff_diff.7.man: Same.
	* man/groff.7.man: Document them briefly.

2019-09-09  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	Regression-test string case transform feature.

	* src/roff/groff/tests/string_case_xform_errors.sh: New test.
	* src/roff/groff/tests/string_case_xform_requests.sh: New test.
	* src/roff/groff/groff.am (groff_TESTS): Run tests.

2019-06-30  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* src/devices/grotty/grotty.1.man (Options/-i): Note support of
	recent versions of xterm for italic (oblique) styles.

	Fixes part of <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?55278>.

	devlatin1: Map \(oq to ' on output.

	* font/devlatin1/R.proto: Render the output glyph \[oq]
	{opening quote} as 0x27 (apostrophe) instead of 0x60 (grave
	accent).  A grave accent is just flat wrong for the Latin-1
	character set, a.k.a. ISO 8859-1.  The defining document ECMA-94
	{June 1986} is freely available for perusal.  The ECMA-94 Latin
	character sets do not define any glyphs for directional
	{"typographer's"} quotation marks, but the apostrophe is
	depicted as a neutral (vertical) glyph, whereas the grave accent
	0x60 and acute accent 0xB4 are mirror-symmetric diacritical
	marks.

	Note that this change has no effect on _input_ conventions for
	roff source documents.  You can still get directional single
	quotes on UTF-8, PostScript, PDF, and other output devices
	supporting them by typing sequences like `this' in the input
	{character remapping with ".char" requests and similar
	notwithstanding}.

	Patch and idea from Ingo Schwarze, who originally proposed it
	for ASCII as well, and included Latin-1 for parallelism.
	The groff developers could reach no consensus about the wisdom
	of such a change for ASCII (which was designed to support
	ambiguity for some code points, requiring the development of
	supplementary interpretation conventions between parties).
	ECMA-94/ISO-8859 is more strongly prescriptive.

	See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55616 and the groff mailing
	list archives for 31 January to 23 February 2019 at
	https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff for lengthy discussion.

	* src/roff/groff/tests/on-latin1-device-oq-is-0x27.sh: Check for
	correct output glyph.

	* src/roff/groff/groff.am: Add test.

2019-06-28  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	* tmac/unicode.tmac: Save and restore compatibility mode since
	the script uses a GNU extension (.char).

2019-06-27  G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

	libdriver: Fix SEGV (Savannah #56555).

	* src/libs/libdriver/printer.cpp: Check result of
	set_char_and_width() for error condition before relying on it.

	* src/roff/groff/tests/regression-56555.sh: Provoke segfault
	with five bytes of input using transparent line indicator.

	* src/roff/groff/groff.am: Add test.

2019-01-12  Ingo Schwarze  <schwarze@openbsd.org>

	Correctly handle groff_mdoc(7) .Lk arguments starting with a
	dot.

	* tmac/doc.tmac-u: Each argument to the .Lk macro is printed
	on its own roff input line.  If it happens to start with a dot
	or apostroph, it was misinterpreted as a request or macro.
	Force it to be treated as text by adding "\&" in front of it.

2018-12-31  Ingo Schwarze  <schwarze@openbsd.org>

	* man/groff_diff.7.man: remove two stray .RE macros
