Why do you want this? What is so special about empty input compared to other non-manual-page input that you want special handling for one but not for the other? For example, doas it matter for you what echo foo | mandoc does, and if it matters, why does that matter for you? While mandoc(1) usually strives for groff compatibility *inside manual pages*, handling arbitrary low-level roff(7) input *outside manual pages* is not among the goals of mandoc(1). I'm not saying what you are asking for is unreasonable. What i'm trying to say is that i need to understand what you need this for before i can make up my mind whether and how your goals might be reached. Bapt@'s very ad-hoc patch does not strike me as particularly useful as far as i can see so far. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
