TODO
|
|
|
|
Optimization:
|
|
- Optimize man path determination in manpath_add_lang_sys() for speed
|
|
by building-up the man path only by and by as far as necessary
|
|
(not trivial).
|
|
- To increase the running speed write part of the groffer shell script
|
|
in C/C++.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
- Revise option handling of `grog'.
|
|
- `gxditview' needs a complete shower.
|
|
|
|
Revision:
|
|
- Should there be a native implementation for `--apropos'?
|
|
- Revise the `--all' feature to better reflect GNU man.
|
|
- The debug function stack is buggy (no effect on normal operation).
|
|
- The actual `groff' and `grog' do not support file arguments each
|
|
of which has a different macro package (except `man' and `doc'). So
|
|
`roffer' should create several display files for such arguments.
|
|
|
|
Documentation:
|
|
- Improve the documentation of the search algorithm for man pages in
|
|
both the groffer script and the man page `groffer.man'.
|
|
- In `groff.man', add more documentation for parts that were taken over
|
|
from GNU `man'.
|
|
- The documentation in the headers for some function definitions in
|
|
`groffer.sh' needs to be updated.
