With -mdocNG, as of this delta, : 2001-03-30 Ruslan Ermilov <ru@freebsd.org> : : Remove .Ld from mdoc package; replace it with special handling of : `...'. : : * tmac/doc-common: Remove `Ld' register. : Uncomment `doc-volume-ds-*' strings. : Remove `doc-operating-system-default'. : (Os): Updated. : : * tmac/doc-syms (Ld): Removed. : * tmac/doc.tmac (doc-parse-args, doc-parse-arg-vector): Handle : `...' specially. : * NEWS: Updated. : : * tmac/groff_mdoc.man: Many fixes and updates. the .Os call is not (strictly speaking) required at all, so we may eventually remove it completely, yes. I think I will do this after NetBSD and OpenBSD upgrade to -mdocNG.
