--Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi everyone, while reading the VACATION(1) manual page I stumbled upon the following entry in the last line: $Date: 2013-11-22 20:52:02 $ I then used "zcat `man -w vacation`|zgrep -n \$Date" to find the actual entry: 14:.TH VACATION 1 "$Date: 2013-11-22 20:52:02 $" Looking at other manual pages such as CAT(1) via "zcat `man -w cat`|head -n 50" shows a different format: .Dd January 29, 2013 Checking all the manual pages in /usr/share/man for the former format using the following command $for i in `find /usr/share/man -type f`; do zgrep -l \$Date $i; done revealed several entries: /usr/share/man/man8/mailstats.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/sendmail.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/smrsh.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/praliases.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/purgestat.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/editmap.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/mail.local.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/rmail.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/makemap.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/hoststat.8.gz /usr/share/man/man5/aliases.5.gz /usr/share/man/man1/mailq.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/vacation.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/dialog.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/newaliases.1.gz /usr/share/man/man4/ubser.4.gz /usr/share/man/man3/dialog.3.gz Looking at the MDOC(7) manual page implies, that mdoc doesn't understand the TH-Macro. Is this expected behaviour? Or should the TH-Entries be turned into DD-Entries? Or should the TH-Entries remain for historical reasons?
