    Have you run

    doas printenv MANPATH

    ?

    You are about to learn the joy of doas.conf, I predict.

  6. You are kidding me!

    This is the coolest way to view markdown files I've ever discovered:

    lowdown -stman somefile.md |man -l -
    

    #markdown #man #mandoc

  7. Has anyone talked to Ingo S of #mandoc maintenance fame lately?

    Please DM if you have news.

  8. @ollien In a couple of days

    man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?qu

    should contain the changes but for now I published the HTML render of the manual page here:

    people.freebsd.org/~0mp/sync.h

    (It was generated with `mandoc -T html bin/sync/sync.8 > /tmp/sync.html`)

    #documentation #freebsd #sync #foss #opensource #mandoc #mdoc

  9. @mos_8502 Probably because (even 😏) tex is more readable (and, of course, more verbose) 😉

    The only thing that still forces you to use (a limited subset of) #roff (with some macro package) is authoring manpages that should work "everywhere" (read, systems without #mandoc support) 😉

    Of course, still an interesting thing to cover. I guess "power users" (having to typeset stuff a lot) would actually like the pretty terse syntax.

  10. another classic god fucking damn #mandoc moment

  11. Please donate to The OpenBSD Foundation to help them reach their goal for 2022.

    They do not only provide support for #OpenBSD, but also to related projects such as #OpenSSH, #OpenBGPD, #OpenNTPD, #OpenSMTPD, #LibreSSL, #mandoc and #rpki-client.

    Thank you! :flan_thumbs:​

  12. Fun fact tags in manual pages work better when running
    mandoc -a draftmanpage.8
    as opposed to
    mandoc draftmanpage.8 |less

    :) #OpenBSD #nsh #Mdoc7 #Mandoc

  13. reading #contracts is more exhausting than writing a #mandoc for the first time;... annalogy for contract negotiation in mandoc is mandoc -Tlint ...rince n repeat.....

  14. #mandoc -Tlint nsh.1 has exploded (and im not saying it is due to name on the file ... (more like the contents :)
    Starting at the top and working down ...

  15. Do people realise how long it takes to write manuals
    ...
    it takes a while ...
    it kind of sucks when you find a better formatted manpage and you know in your heart and soul that you got to go back and re do all your mandoc tags ... perfection is a moving target #mandoc #OpenBSD #nsh

  16. Dear #OpenBSD folks, who should I contact with a patch for #mandoc?

  17. I've decided to publish a little #CLI I use to auto-reload previews of manual pages when I work on #FreeBSD documentation.

    github.com/0mp/mantra

    It is now available in the FreeBSD #ports collection: freshports.org/textproc/mantra

  18. Ok, I'm pretty sure cawf 4.10 is the last version of cawf. It's from 1996. The minix version I was playing with earlier is either 4.8 or 4.9.

    (groff released in '97, pretty much made cawf pointless)

    It was an easy port to RISC OS. I have a little bit of packaging to do yet but it's basically done.

    Unfortunately it still can't deal with mandoc or mdoc manpages.

    #riscos #cawf #groff #nroff #manpages #mandoc #mdoc

  19. If the newer version of cawf supports mandoc macros it might be worth porting.

  20. youtube.com/watch?v=jwfN7S1-fR a video of Ingo' Schwartze'#s Presentation on Documentation and LibreSSL in @eurobsdcon 2018, Ingo Demonstrates as always his keen attention to detail. Im just sorry that I didnt arrive in time for the start of the Presentation #RUNBSD #mandoc #LibreSSL

  21. I've published my #Bash completion files for some #FreeBSD programs.

    The repository includes Bash completion scripts for the following software at the moment: #mandoc, #pkg, #service
