Version 1.23.0 released 2023-07-05
==================================
2023-06-21 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[ms]: Offer advice to users of PDF who want a table of contents
at the front of the document.
* doc/groff.texi (ms Document Structure): Move mention of
pdfjam(1) from here...
(ms TOC): ...to here, and identify alternatives, including
gropdf(1)'s `pdfswitchtopage` macro.
* doc/ms.ms (General structure of an ms document):
(Creating a table of contents): Similar.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64278>. Thanks to Michał
Kruszewski for the report.
2023-06-01 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[docs]: Migrate terminology to "scaling unit".
...from "scaling indicator".
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60957>. Thanks to Ingo
Schwarze for the discussion.
2023-05-29 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[docs]: Revise discussion of fonts.
* doc/groff.texi:
- Rename node/section "Fonts and Symbols" to "Using Fonts". Add
giant new introduction, properly establishing terminology.
- Rename node/section "Changing Fonts" to "Selecting Fonts".
Shift location of `.fn` and `.sty` register documentation.
Rewrite presentation of `ft` and `\f`. Discuss typeface
selection by mounting position and font (or style) name
together; since arguments to these formatter instructions are
always interpreted as mounting positions first, it doesn't
make much sense to me to present them separately, and the new
introduction provides the necessary background. Tighten
example. Document that current and previous font selections
are environment properties.
- Add several concept index entries.
- Do more migration from "symbol" and "glyph" names to "special
character" names.
* man/groff.7 (Using fonts): Introduce new section, synced with
the renamed node from our Texinfo manual above.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62973>.
2023-05-29 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[docs]: Revise "Page Layout" material.
* doc/groff.texi:
- Recast generally.
- Describe behavior of `pl` in more detail.
- Migrate terminology from "scaling indicator" to "scaling
unit".
- Stop discussing page margins in the context of the `pl`
request.
- Move concept index entries regarding margins from here to
"Traps".
- Move discussion of `pn` request to precede `tl` request.
- Add concept index entries.
- Recast description of `tl` request. Migrate terminology from
"justification" to "alignment".
- Recast description of `lt` request. Describe behavior in more
detail.
- Recast description of `pc` request.
- Add example of `lt` and `tl` usage. Add forward reference to
"Traps", mentioning page header and footer traps.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55124>. Thanks to Dave
Kemper for the report.
2023-05-22 Dave Kemper <[email protected]>
[docs]: Correct minor punctuation, grammar, and spelling issues.
Also remove a couple instances of unnecessarily telling the
reader to note something.
* doc/groff.texi:
* man/groff.7.man:
* man/groff_char.7.man:
* man/groff_diff.7.man:
* man/roff.7.man:
* src/roff/nroff/nroff.1.man: Do it.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64230>. [I threw in a few
more fixes. --GBR]
2023-04-22 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[docs]: Attempt to further clarify end-of-sentence detection.
* doc/groff.texi (Sentences):
* man/roff.7 (Concepts): Do it.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64091>. Thanks to Ingo
Schwarze and Dave Kemper for the report.
2023-04-14 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[docs]: Minimally document `tag`, `taga` requests.
* doc/groff.texi (Postprocessor Access):
* man/groff.7 (Request short reference): Do it.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62695>.
2023-04-11 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[docs]: Fix typos.
* doc/groff.texi (ms basic information):
* doc/ms.ms (Basic information): Do it.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64032>. Thanks to an
anonymous reporter.
2023-03-07 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* doc/groff.texi (Operators in Conditionals):
* man/groff.7.in (Conditional expressions): Clarify how the
output comparison operator is recognized.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63812>. Thanks to John
Gardner for the report.
2023-03-06 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
Use a better type for symbol hashes.
* bootstrap.conf: Add "stdint" module to ensure that the
`uintptr_t` type is available.
* src/include/symbol.h: Include <stdint.h> for `uintptr_t`.
(class symbol):
(symbol::hash): Change return type from `unsigned long`, which
causes build failures on 64-bit MinGW, to `uintptr_t`.
(symbol::hash): Use a C++ type cast, not a C-style one.
Thanks to Bruno Haible for reporting the build failure in the
64-bit MinGW environment, and for suggesting a remedy.
2023-03-06 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[groff]: Revise a test to be more revealing.
* src/roff/groff/tests/initialization_is_quiet.sh: Stop using
"set -e". Instead use `fail` variable and `wail` function (and
lowercase names for our internal variables) like many of our
other tests. If the "unset" shell built-in fails, skip the
test (prompted by /usr/xpg4/bin/sh on Solaris). Attempt every
groff locale, with and without compatibility mode initially
enabled, instead of stopping at the first failure. Report
standard error and standard output content separately. Use
groff's `-a` flag to prepare the standard output, for
readability.
* PROBLEMS: Document that this test might be skipped rather than
failing on Solaris. (What actually happens depends on which
shell you run it with, and we advise a variety of approaches.)
Thanks to Bruno Haible for feedback regarding mysterious
failures of this test on GNU/Hurd and NetBSD systems.
2023-03-06 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add "stdbool-c99" per
recommendation from Bruno Haible.
Fixes build problem on Solaris using Sun compiler.
2023-03-06 Bruno Haible <[email protected]>
* Makefile.am (AR): Remove hardcoded value. Let Automake use the
value from config.status.
{Fixes build problem on 64-bit AIX. Problem appears to date
back to commit 5fec19d453, 2014-08-15. --GBR}
2023-03-06 Bruno Haible <[email protected]>
* arch/misc/misc.am (shdeps.sed): Rename target from this...
($(SH_DEPS_SED_SCRIPT)): ...to this, to work better with make(1)
on FreeBSD, NetBSD, and AIX.
2023-03-01 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[build]: Discard now-unneeded Autoconf macro and variables.
* configure.ac: Stop calling `GROFF_POPPLER`. Stop populating
the Automake conditional `HAVE_PDFTOOLS`. Eliminate chatter
about their availability in the configuration report.
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_POPPLER): Delete.
2023-03-01 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_URW_FONTS_NOTICE): Adapt wording of notice
to presence and identity of Ghostscript interpreter command.
Clarify that it is gropdf(1) specifically that traverses the
Ghostscript search path reported by its "-h" option.
Continues <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63808>. Thanks to
Deri James for the ongoing discussion.
2023-02-25 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[devpdf]: Revise tests.
* font/devpdf/tests/check-default-foundry.sh.in: Test only the
base 14 fonts of the PDF standard unconditionally. Test the
remainder from the set of 35 commonly distributed only if a
Ghostscript interpreter was detected at configuration time,
because the latter fonts _must_ be embedded in PDF documents.
If they're not present, skip the test rather than failing it.
* font/devpdf/tests/check-urw-foundry.sh.in: Skip test if no URW
fonts detected at configuration time, rather than failing it.
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_GROPDF_PROGRAM_NOTICE)
(GROFF_URW_FONTS_NOTICE): Drop warnings of expected test
failures. The tests no longer fail in the anticipated
circumstances.
2023-02-24 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[devpdf]: Generate tests from template files, so we can populate
the test scripts with information determined at configuration.
The default foundry test depends on $GHOSTSCRIPT, and the URW
foundry test on $urwfontsdir.
* font/devpdf/tests/check-default-foundry.sh:
* font/devpdf/tests/check-urw-foundry.sh: Rename these...
* font/devpdf/tests/check-default-foundry.sh.in:
* font/devpdf/tests/check-urw-foundry.sh.in: ...to these.
* font/devpdf/devpdf.am (font_devpdf_default_test)
(font_devpdf_urw_test): New variables store names of generated
test scripts.
(font/devpdf/tests/check-default-foundry.sh):
(font/devpdf/tests/check-urw-foundry.sh): New targets produce
test scripts from corresponding .in files.
2023-02-24 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[devpdf]: Trivially refactor. Rename sed-substitutum [Lat.]
from "@GROFF_GHOSTSCRIPT_INTERPRETERS@" to "@GHOSTSCRIPT@" for
clarity and brevity; this is a scalar value containing the
Autoconf-determined name of the Ghostscript interpreter. It is
not the same as the replacement that occurs in contrib/pdfmark.
* font/devpdf/devpdf.am:
* font/devpdf/util/BuildFoundries.pl: Do it.
2023-02-24 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
[build]: Stop scraping output of Ghostscript executable with
"-h" option to attempt to find URW fonts. Fonts that ship with
Ghostscript are regarded as the "default" foundry, not the URW
foundry (though they often ultimately originate with URW fonts).
They are often missing Adobe Font Metric (AFM) files, so it is
impossible for groff to generate font description files for them
at build time.
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_URW_FONTS_CHECK): Drop `AC_REQUIRE` on
`GROFF_AWK_PATH`. Drop awk-based scraping of Ghostscript "-h"
output. Annotate need for sync between this list of
characteristic font file names and the one in BuildFoundries.
Thanks to Deri James for the ongoing discussions.
2023-02-24 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* configure.ac: Drop now-redundant explicit
`GROFF_URW_FONTS_CHECK`. `GROFF_GROPDF_DEPENDENCIES_CHECK`
`AC_REQUIRE`s it as of commit ec001d2a23, 18 February.
2023-02-24 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_URW_FONTS_CHECK): When looking for a
characteristic URW font by its file name, also check for
"URWGothic-Book" with no file extension. Avoids false negatives
in URW Type 1 font detection when using Ghostscript 9.53.3.
Thanks to Deri James for suggesting the test procedure that
uncovered this flaw.

* Makefile.am (uninstall_groffdirs): Remove "html.mono" and
"html.node" directories corresponding to HTML version of our
Texinfo manual.
* doc/doc.am (uninstall-html): Uninstall HTML version of our
Texinfo manual more reliably.
Fixes a regression introduced by me in commit c2698aade, 6 April

text format.
(install-data-local): Add dependency on new target
'install-txt'.
(install-txt): Install our Texinfo manual in plain text format.

rules to work in out-of-tree builds.
2023-02-22 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* doc/doc.am (uninstall-hook): Drop dependency on
"uninstall_mom"; this is not the appropriate place to declare
it, and "uninstall_groffdirs" already depends on it in mom's
Automake file.

[man pages]: Define page-local `MR` fallback.
[man pages]: Provide page-local fallback definition of new `MR`
macro. I didn't think I was going to have to do this, but the
premier site on the web for viewing Linux man pages, Michael
Kerrisk's man7.org, has been pulling snapshots of the pages
themselves without upgrading the underlying macros, and so man
page cross references set with `MR` are getting lost in its
presentations. (I acknowledge: Ingo Schwarze warned me
something like this could happen.) This definition is intended
as a stopgap measure only. I want to revert this after groff
1.23 is released and has spread to some reasonable degree.

* doc/doc.am (uninstall-pdf): Clean more fastidiously; try to
remove the configured `pdfdocdir` in the event it is empty, but
do not fail if it isn't. (It can be a directory shared with

[build]: Detangle "pdfroff" and "gropdf" configuration (2/2).
* m4/groff.m4: Give pdfroff its own Autoconf macros to handle
dependency checking, build objectives, and user notice.
(GROFF_PDFROFF_DEPENDENCIES_CHECK): New macro requires
`GROFF_AWK_PATH` and `GROFF_GHOSTSCRIPT_PATH`, determines
whether pdfroff can be used at build time, and (if not)
constructs part of message to be shown to user explaining why.
(GROFF_PDFROFF_PROGRAM_NOTICE): New macro requires
`GROFF_PDFROFF_DEPENDENCIES_CHECK` and emits message if needed.
(GROFF_GHOSTSCRIPT_AVAILABILITY_NOTICE): Drop mention of impact
on pdfroff since its dedicated notice covers this now.
* configure.ac: Call the new macros at appropriate times.
Produce a new Automake macro, `USE_PDFROFF`, to replace
inapposite use of `USE_GROPDF` in pdfmark.am.
* contrib/pdfmark/pdfmark.am: Use `USE_PDFROFF` instead of

[build]: Detangle "pdfroff" and "gropdf" configuration (1/2).
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_GROPDF_DEPENDENCIES_CHECK): Add
`AC_REQUIRE`ment on `GROFF_URW_FONTS_CHECK`. Per discussion
with Deri James, if _either_ Ghostscript or the URW fonts are
avilable, gropdf will be fully functional, consequent to commit
d5515, 22 June. Drop dependency on awk; it is used only at
configuration time (in an Autoconf macro) and since Savannah
#62775 was resolved (19 September), it has not been strictly
necessary. (It is useful for searching more locations for URW
fonts, but several others are searched even if it is absent.)
Stop populating notice text here, instead moving it...
(GROFF_GROPDF_PROGRAM_NOTICE): ...here, since it no longer needs
to be dynamically constructed.

[gropdf]: Don't run automated tests if 'gropdf' will be

Test for font descriptions corresponding to the full 35
PostScript Level 2 font repertoire, plus groff's "EURO".

GROFF_TYPESETTER=utf8 in the test environment, these test cases
would fail. Thanks to John Gardner for the report.
2023-02-15 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* configure.ac: Add Automake conditional, `HAVE_GHOSTSCRIPT`, so
that we can populate the list of PDF device font tests
dynamically. Call new macro
`GROFF_GHOSTSCRIPT_AVAILABILITY_NOTICE`. Call
`GROFF_GHOSTSCRIPT_VERSION_NOTICE` after it, but before
`GROFF_URW_FONTS_NOTICE`.
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_AWK_NOTICE): New macro produces warning if
no awk could be found. This reduces gropdf functionality, but
so do missing URW fonts, so we report this problem separately.
Report the names under which we sought it, since there's a
configure script option for that.
(GROFF_GHOSTSCRIPT_AVAILABILITY_NOTICE): New macro explains
consequences of missing optional dependency on Ghostscript
program: reduced grohtml functionality, nonfunctional pdfroff.
Report the names under which we sought it, since there's a
configure script option for that.
(GROFF_CHECK_GROPDF_PROGRAMS): Better characterize gropdf's
reduced function, pointing out the ways in which it would be
more useful if the dependencies were met. Also simplify the
computational grammar.
(GROFF_URW_FONTS_NOTICE): Identify 'U' as the foundry name
gropdf uses for the URW fonts. Confirm continuing availability
of most recent URW fonts release; bump date.
* font/devpdf/devpdf.am: Test availability of "basic" (PDF base
14) fonts (plus groff's "EURO") if either Ghostscript or URW
fonts are available. Test availability of URW fonts (35) only
if Ghostscript _and_ the URW fonts were found at configuration
time.

James for the report and extremely helpful pseudocode.
2023-02-15 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_GHOSTSCRIPT_VERSION_CHECK,
GROFF_URW_FONTS_NOTICE): Add macro dependency on

(GROFF_GROHTML_PROGRAM_NOTICE): Add macro dependency on
`GROFF_CHECK_GROHTML_PROGRAMS`, which should have been there
already.
(GROFF_CHECK_GROHTML_PROGRAMS, GROFF_PNMTOOLS_CAN_BE_QUIET):
Move `AC_REQUIRE` expansions to precede shell variable
assignments (after checking that the required macros don't
clobber the assignments we're making).
2023-02-15 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* font/devpdf/tests/basic-fonts-present.sh: Revise test again,
per feedback from Deri James. Even without Ghostscript or URW
fonts available, gropdf can generate valid PDF documents; it
simply can't embed fonts in general (without further
arrangements made on the host system), which means it is
restricted to the PDF base 14 fonts. That's enough for many
purposes, including generating our compiled man pages document
{with minor degradations to the typeface lists in gropdf(1) and
grops(1)}. Drop the 'gs' command check, which also didn't check
for the name of the Ghostscript interpreter determined by the
"configure" script. Replace dynamically generated font list
with a static one (the base 14 fonts plus groff's EURO).
2023-02-13 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* font/devpdf/tests/basic-fonts-present.sh: Revise test.
Improve explanation of why we're looking for the gs(1) command
in a font availability test. Prefix diagnostic output with name
of test script. Perform a search for the 'ps' device font
descriptions that will work in more build scenarios (i.e., don't
assume an out-of-tree build taking place in an immediate
subdirectory of the source). Distinguish failure to find the
font descriptions from a failure to locate the 'gs' command,
skipping the test in both scenarios. Reduce noise in output.
* m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_CHECK_GROPDF_PROGRAMS): Revise warning
issued when awk and Ghostscript are unavailable; gropdf will not
be completely inoperative. Characterize its reduced function.
Thanks to Deri James in <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/\
groff-commit/2023-02/msg00089.html> for prompting me to take a
another look at this.

* tmac/tests/latin2_works.sh:
* tmac/tests/latin5_works.sh:
* tmac/tests/latin9_works.sh: Port to work around macOS's
apparently POSIX non-conforming 'od' command. Use single-byte
octal output format instead of "character", and update test
expectations accordingly. Apparently gratuitously, macOS also
puts more spaces after the octal address field when using this
output format.

[mdoc]: Port a test to work with macOS sed.
* tmac/tests/doc_heading-font-remapping-works.sh: Put semicolons

multiple closing braces on a separate input line, because macOS
doesn't accept them otherwise. Resolves test failure observed
on macOS.
* HACKING: Document the closing brace sequence problem.

[man]: Port a test to work with macOS sed.

* HACKING: Document the above problems.
2023-02-13 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* src/roff/groff/tests/\

since this is the second time I've cracked my shin on this.
2023-02-13 G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
* font/devpdf/tests/basic-fonts-present.sh: Skip test if 'gs'
command not available. The test is to ensure that gropdf will
produce sound documents using the base fonts from PostScript,
but since gropdf requires Ghostscript to do this (as noted in
our "./configure" messages), it makes no sense to validate font
availability if the program is absent. Resolves test failure
seen on macOS with minimal dependencies installed.

vigorous discussion. I don't expect my solution to please
everyone.

* tmac/an.tmac: Add internal register `an*MR-URL-format` to
select from a few known formats of man page hyperlink. There
are three known on macOS, and one used everywhere else.
* tmac/man.local: Document this feature so macOS users can enjoy
the OSC 8 hyperlink feature if their terminal application
supports it.
I hope that this feature will be a temporary measure while macOS
implements support for the man page URL format used everywhere
else in the world.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63768>. Thanks to John
Gardner for the report, research, consultation, and testing.

[BuildFoundries]: Fails if neither ghostcript nor URW fonts
are installed.
* font/devpdf/util/BuildFoundries.pl: When the change to hold
paths in an array, rather than a delimited string (see commit
4ae4aeb6555f4f16c28fcb03eb1f56577826054c), the FindGSpath
subroutine should return a pointer to an empty array when the
call to ghostscript fails, rather than return an empty string,
as was done previously.
See <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2023-02/\
msg00042.html>; thanks to Bruno Haible for the report.

Switch to using system's assert.h header file. It is futile to
attempt to preserve compatibility with ISO C90 systems by
providing a bespoke predicate-reporting assert() (a C99 feature)
when gnulib, which we require, itself demands C99. This ensures
that `static_assert` remains defined so that gnulib can use it.
Thanks to Bruno Haible for the consultation.

* src/roff/troff/input.cpp (token::next): Use correct kind of
null object in comparison. Fixes latent bug that would be
exposed if we were to migrate from zero literals to `nullptr`.

[tbl]: Drop XFAIL test. It was written with an unclear
understanding of how DWB (AT&T) and Heirloom Doctools troff
behaved. The individual checks might come back, modified.
* src/preproc/tbl/tests/table-lacks-spurious-top-border.sh:
Delete.
* src/preproc/tbl/tbl.am (tbl_TESTS): Drop it.
(tbl_XFAIL_TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Drop now empty assignment and
unnecessary update, respectively.
