The mdocml = mandoc manual page parser and formatter contains: * complete validating parsers for the mdoc and man languages * a slightly incomplete parser handling most of the tbl language * a very incomplete parser handling a part of the eqn language * support for a few selected roff requests that often occur in manuals * complete ASCII, UTF8, HTML and XHTML text output formatters * simple PostScript and PDF output formatters * output formatters producing indented mdoc and man parse trees To format manuals for console display, it can be used as a smaller and faster drop-in replacement for nroff -mandoc. Some rare manuals using lots of uncommon low-level roff requests may not work with mandoc but require a full roff implementation.
