Here are three tutorials: https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2014-mandoc-paper.pdf (in particular chapter 1, pages 6-8) https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2014-mandoc-slides.pdf (in particular slides 15-21) (both versions are similar, but not identical) http://manpages.bsd.lv/ (a bit dated by now and a bit wordy, but probably still worthwhile) And here is some additional advice for mdoc(7), beyond what the mdoc(7) manual page can cover: http://mandoc.bsd.lv/mdoc/ Yours, Ingo
