||
||If we keep groff_mdoc(7) and mandoc(1) in sync, i'm not necessarily
||opposed to very sparingly adding functionality, if it adds very
||considerable value.
||Anyway, here are a few possible ideas:
||
|| .Ix [macro] [key]
||
||Example:
||
|| .Ix Ev USER
||
||That would add an index entry for the string USER to the index
||of environment variables. Arguments would default to the next
||content macro occurring in the input stream. So
||
|| .Ix
|| .Ix Ar
|| .It Fl o Ar outfile
||
||would be equivalent to
||
|| .Ix Fl o
|| .Ix Ar outfile
|| .It Fl o Ar outfile
of course a counter (and optional args saved in numbered strings)
can do this for roff. Say. Or better say "could", the non-mandoc
-mdoc is pretty static at the moment..
