Note that a very small number of man(7) pages contain low-level
roff(7) markup that mandoc does not yet understand. On some BSD
systems using mandoc, third-party software is vetted on whether it
may be formatted with mandoc. If not, groff(1) is pulled in as a
dependency and used to install pre-formatted "catpages" instead of
manual page sources. This mechanism is used much less frequently
than in the past. On OpenBSD, only 25 out of about 10000 ports
still require formatting with groff(1).

@Changes in version 1.14.5, released on March 10, 2019
--- MAJOR NEW FEATURES ---
* apropos(1): improve POSIX compliance by accepting case-insensitive
extended regular expressions by default
* new -O tag[=term] output option (open a page at the definition of a term)
* tbl(7) -T html: spanning and horizontal and vertical alignment of cells
* tbl(7) -T html: draw lines on the edges of table cells
* tbl(7) -T utf8: render lines with the Unicode box drawing characters
* mandoc is now able to handle the manual pages of the groff package.
--- MINOR NEW FEATURES ---
* -T html: new option -O toc (table of contents)
* -T html: second argument to -O man to support local and remote links
* mdoc(7) .Bd -centered now fills the text contained in it
* man-ext .SY and .YS macros (synopsis block)
* man-ext .TQ macro (tagged paragraph without vertical space before it)
* tbl(7) \& explicit alignment indicator
* roff(7) .shift, .while, and .return requests
* roff(7) .char request (output glyph definition)
* roff(7) .nop request (no operation)
* roff(7) .ft request: handle the CB, CI, and CR fonts
* roff(7) .if c conditional (character available)
* roff(7) \\$@@ escape sequence (insert all macro arguments, quoted)
* roff(7) \*(.T predefined string (interpolate output device name)
* roff(7) \[charNNN] escape sequence (for printable ASCII characters)
* roff(7) \# escape sequence (line continuation with comment)
--- HTML OUTPUT SYNTAX CORRECTIONS ---
* Render .br and \p as
, not as an empty .
* Render .Pp and .PP as
and automatically close it when needed.
* Stop writing empty list elements for non-compact .Bl -tag lists.
* Do not put
inside if .UR or .MT contain .PP.
* Implement tooltips purely in CSS rather than abusing title= attributes.
--- MINOR FUNCTIONAL IMPROVEMENTS ---
* many improvements to the handling of fill and no-fill mode
* tbl(7): better column widths in the presence of horizontal spans
* several minor improvements to escape sequence handling
* several minor improvements to manual font handling
* portability: autodetect need for _GNU_SOURCE or _OPENBSD_SOURCE
* portability: autodetect whether less(1) supports the -T option
* large numbers of bugfixes of diverse kinds
--- STRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENTS ---
* Disentangle eqn(7) and tbl(7) from other parser header files,
and clean up some parser data structures.
* Substantially simplify error and warning message infrastructure.

Basically, that amounts to "make regress" to do a standard regression
run, running all tests. For more fine-grained control,
read "./mandoc -l regress/regress.pl.1",
then run "cd regress && ./regress.pl" with optional arguments.
The regression suite requires a reasonably modern Perl interpreter.
Examples of systems that are too old to run the regression suite
include Solaris 9, Solaris 10, and Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
On Solaris 11, the suite does run, but some tests fail;
look at the BUGS section of that manual page.
