Over a decade ago there was some work in bsd.man.mk to build tbl pages
with mandoc. For example this commit from 2010:
----------------------------
revision 1.32
date: 2010/10/17 22:47:08; author: schwarze; state: Exp; lines: +8 -18;
Build tbl(1) pages with mandoc(1), not groff.
Xenocara build checked myself, base build also by jmc@, thanks!
"don't wait for me" deraadt@
Pages in base using tbl mostly look good already except for the
rare .T{ macros; there may still be a few formatting issues
in xenocara, please speak up when you run into them.
Eventually, mandoc will catch up.
----------------------------
Back then there was some special infrastructure to build these man pages
if they were named something like *.6tbl.
That convention is a local OpenBSD convention, it does not exist outside
of our tree.
At this point the special naming for these man pages is no longer needed:
* games/phantasia/phantasia.6tbl
* gnu/usr.sbin/mkhybrid/src/mkhybrid.8tbl
* share/man/man4/man4.hppa/cpu.4tbl
* share/man/man4/wi.4tbl
* share/man/man4/man4.hppa/cpu.4tbl
* usr.bin/infocmp/infocmp.1tbl
* usr.bin/tic/captoinfo.1tbl
The benefits are:
- The affected Makefiles are shortened by 3+ lines
- diffing external software like mkhybrid against the original sources
results in less noise
- remove an unnecessary cp step doing the build
ok on the diff below? (I've left out the man page renames from the diff
for brevity)
