Hi, There was a previous discussion about making some small changes to the src.conf and build man pages to include reference to src.conf.5 in the buikd.7 manpage. I have updated the two documents appropriately. I believe I also addressed Mr. Loshs' comment pertaining to the scope of the src.conf file and the format of the title. I also found a typo in netmap.4. In terms of coming up to speed with documentation, I had asked about where to find documentation about, er, documentation and started with the Documentation Primer (Why is this a "primer" and others are a "handbook"?). This seems to me to be a mistake. After claiming domain over man pages, the "primer" never mentions mdoc, groff, troff, man, mandoc or any other item that seems remotely related to man pages ever again? Please, correct me if I am wrong. I did however find the following bits of information: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/howto-create-a-manpage-from-scratch.13200/ https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mdoc&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.2-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html http://mdocml.bsd.lv/ http://mdocml.bsd.lv/man/mdoc.7.html http://manpages.bsd.lv/ Which could be pieced nicely together to make a man pages handbook or at least a section in the "primer"? Thanks, Russell
