You have thrown out the baby with the bathwater.

Integrated, offline, semantically tagged documentation subsystem is better than your dependency-riddled, half baked webapp of the day.

And I'm going to to prove it.

ziaee added a comment to D54519: mfi(4)/mrsas(4): Print driver versions consistently.

I do very much approve of the conceptual change, and this code seems clear and good to me, but I am too junior at C programming to be the final word on mechanical changes to drivers. I asked some senior colleagues to take a look.

ziaee added a comment to D49895: sh.1: Provide detailed documentation for job control.

Your use of angle macro instead of less-than/greater-than is correct. mandoc renders Aq/Ao/Ac to UTF-8 as Mathematical Angle Brackets (U+27E8 and U+27E9), and the default FreeBSD console font for higher resolution displays is missing this character. I reported these upstream to the fonts author.

That syntax doesn't work for me on FreeBSD console, and I know others too, so I took it for granted. I'll dig in a bit when I get back to my desk. Just to give some idea on the range of moving parts:

This is fine with me, but I would wait for @imp or even anyone someone else from Loader like @kevans or @tsoome. It sounds like he might not want to declare that space works and then they're committed to supporting that, or making things consistent towards that.
