I'm sure. :P It's pretty straightforward, and I meant `msoquiet`. Much as groff mm now loads a site-specific localization file, https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=62a5f6b87ccc69ba5c6df32b087f58eaa131d55f but doesn't complain if the file doesn't exist, we could have mdoc load a site-local file as well. diff --git a/tmac/doc.tmac b/tmac/doc.tmac index 6267d2a08..411f6820e 100644 --- a/tmac/doc.tmac +++ b/tmac/doc.tmac @@ -268,6 +268,7 @@ . .mso mdoc/doc-common .mso mdoc/doc-syms +.msoquiet mdoc/doc-site . . .\" NS doc-macro-name global string This file can be created by distributors to define whatever strings (or "syms" in mdoc's insular lexicon) it needs. It's cleaner than patching doc-syms (or doc-common). That's all. Nothing fancy. But too big a change for the master branch in late April, when we were good and frozen. Regards, Branden
