LOWDOWN_NROFF_NEW(3) Library Functions Manual LOWDOWN_NROFF_NEW(3) NAME lowdown_nroff_new -- allocate a roff renderer for lowdown documents LIBRARY library "liblowdown" SYNOPSIS #include <sys/queue.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <lowdown.h> void * lowdown_nroff_new(const struct lowdown_opts *opts); DESCRIPTION Allocates a roff renderer using opts->oflags and opts->type, or zero and LOWDODN_NROFF, respectively, if opts is NULL. These are documented in lowdown(3). The returned pointer may be used with multiple invoca- tions of lowdown_nroff_rndr(3) and must be freed with lowdown_nroff_free(3). The bits recognised in opts->oflags are LOWDOWN_NROFF_ENDNOTES, LOWDOWN_NROFF_GROFF, LOWDOWN_NROFF_NOLINK, LOWDOWN_NROFF_NUMBERED, LOWDOWN_NROFF_SHORTLINK, LOWDOWN_NROFF_SKIP_HTML, and LOWDOWN_STANDALONE. The values recognised in opts->type are LOWDOWN_MAN and LOWDODN_NROFF: anything else triggers LOWDODN_NROFF. If LOWDOWN_NROFF_GROFF is set in LOWDOWN_MAN mode, macros from the man-ext package as well as the original man are used in output. These are supported by both groff and mandoc. If in LOWDODN_NROFF mode, GNU extensions to ms are used along with mspdf. These are only supported by groff. LOWDOWN_NROFF_ENDNOTES delays printing of footnotes until the end of a document. Does not affect LOWDOWN_MAN documents, which structurally only supports endnotes. The allocated rendered will use constant-width fonts "CR" (regular), "CB" (bold), "CI" (italic), and "CBI" (bold-italic). Override the de- faults with variables in the struct lowdown_opts_nroff structure. RETURN VALUES Returns a pointer to the renderer or NULL on memory failure. The re- turned pointer must be freed with lowdown_nroff_free(3). EXAMPLES The following parses b of length bsz and outputs in groff_ms(7) format. struct lowdown_buf *out; struct lowdown_doc *doc; struct lowdown_node *n; void *rndr; if ((doc = lowdown_doc_new(NULL)) == NULL) err(1, NULL); if ((n = lowdown_doc_parse(doc, NULL, b, bsz, NULL)) == NULL) err(1, NULL); if ((out = lowdown_buf_new(256)) == NULL) err(1, NULL); if ((rndr = lowdown_nroff_new(NULL)) == NULL) err(1, NULL); if (!lowdown_nroff_rndr(out, rndr, n)) err(1, NULL); fwrite(out->data, 1, out->size, stdout); lowdown_nroff_free(rndr); lowdown_buf_free(out); lowdown_node_free(n); lowdown_doc_free(doc); SEE ALSO lowdown(3), lowdown_nroff_free(3), lowdown_nroff_rndr(3), This uses both the original troff man macros for Version 7 AT&T UNIX, defined in man(7), and the man-ext groff extensions. Both are imple- mented in mandoc. The troff ms macros are defined in groff_ms(7), with the mspdf groff extensions described in "Portable Document Format Publishing with GNU Troff" by Keith Marshall. Neither are implemented in mandoc. CAVEATS The default constant-width fonts may not available for the formatter's output device (for example, the terminal). In this case, the formatter may raise a warning and ignore the font. FreeBSD Ports 14.quarterly $Mdocdate$ LOWDOWN_NROFF_NEW(3)
