Hi all,As someone who's much more familiar with mdoc(7) than man(7), is there an approximate 'correspondence table' somewhere that gives at least a rough sense of which man(7) macros to use when, in an mdoc(7) context, one would use a given mdoc(7) macro? Such a table might look something like (to use some obvious probable correspondences):
| mdoc(7) | man(7) | Notes +---------+--------+------- | Lk | UR | | Op | OP | | Sh | SH | | Ss | SS || ⋮ | ⋮ | i recognise that there's no bijection in general, and that specific mappings might differ between projects (e.g. the Linux man-pages project might use a certain man(7) macro where a different project uses another), but even a project-specific table would be helpful to me.
i thought there might be such a table in either groff_man(7) or groff_man_style(7), but nothing leapt out ....
Alexis.
