It looks like it was added late in the game, along with a few other undocumented mdoc macros I discovered while poking around in the mdoc macros for some other reason. It looks like .Rv was never The .An macro is the next one it looks like I'll document. It is used by 3 man pages :-). Usage: .An author name E.g: .An Mike Pritchard . Generates: Mike Pritchard. .An Mike Pritchard Aq mpp@FreeBSD.ORG . Gives: Mike Pritchard <mpp@FreeBSD.ORG>. So that all of the "author" info is contained on one macro line. I kinda like that format, since I was thinking about writing some type of "author" macro myself to do just that. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org "Go that way. Really fast.
