There is a significant 79 conflict with the internal use of ALD when the docheader is only 80 one line long (as, for example, when DOCTYPE is CHAPTER). 81 ---Fixed, pending discovery of further conflicts--- 82 83 Version 1.2-c 84 ============= 85 86 Deferred footnotes not always being output, and groff complains 87 "ending diversion FN_OVERFLOW on exit." 88 ---Fixed--- 89 90 First .LS call after a top margin has been set (with .T_MARGIN 91 or .PAGE) causing mom to move off the top margin baseline. Also, 92 there are conflicts between ALD, LS and T_MARGIN. 93 ---Fixed--- 94 95 DROPCAP not properly restoring a running \*[COND] or \*[EXT] after 96 COND or EXT are given as arguments to DROPCAP. 97 ---Fixed--- 98 99 Version 1.2 100 =========== 101 102 .PAD not co-operating with mom's fontstyles, esp. when a full 103 family+fontstyle is given to .FT. 104 ---Fixed--- 105 106 .DROPCAP -- ditto the above. 107 ---Fixed--- 108 109 Version 1.1.9 110 ============= 111 112 Footnote markers not resetting properly on new pages when COLUMNS 113 is enabled. 114 ---Fixed--- 115 116 When overflowed footnote material is the only footnote material on 117 the page or in the column, no footnotes are output. 118 ---Fixed--- 119 120 The AUTOLEAD used in FOOTNOTE not being disabled after FOOTNOTES 121 are output, or after PROCESS_FN_LEFTOVER/PROCESS_FN_IN_DIVER. 122 ---Fixed--- 123 124 COL_NEXT and COL_BREAK, when invoked during the last column on a 125 page, are overprinting the last column instead of breaking to a new 126 page when there are footnotes in the column. 127 ---Fixed--- 128 129 BR_AT_LINE_KERN not "break-and-spreading" text when used in 130 justified copy. 131 ---Fixed--- 132 133 Version 1.1.8 134 ============= 135 136 BLOCKQUOTE_FAMILY not changing blockquote family. 137 ---Fixed--- 138 139 FOOTNOTE, whether in column mode or not, was using 140 #FN_COUNT_FOR_COLS for all footnote markers and handling. 141 ---Fixed--- 142 143 Deferred footnotes that occured on the second to last page of 144 documents not printing. 145 ---Fixed--- 146 147 Version 1.1.7-a 148 =============== 149 150 Suite number in DOCTYPE LETTER not printing. 151 ---Fixed--- 152 153 Footer elements not always vertically aligning. 154 ---Fixed--- 155 156 Footer rule gap not always correctly observed. 157 ---Fixed--- 158 159 Page numbering, when at top of page, not always falling on 160 HDRFTR_MARGIN. 161 ---Fixed--- 162 163 Default page numbering style for COPYSTYLE draft is DIGIT instead 164 of roman. 165 ---Fixed--- 166 167 Hyphens around page numbering when style is DIGIT, ROMAN or ALPHA 168 not vertically centered. 169 ---Fixed--- 170 171 EXT arg not working with DROPCAP. 172 ---Fixed--- 173 174 DOC_QUAD not automatically set immediately after START 175 ---Fixed-- 176 177 Tabs behaving erratically during document processing. 178 ---Fixed--- 179 180 Version 1.1.7 181 ============= 182 183 When DOCHEADER OFF <distance> is given, if <distance> falls short 184 of the top margin of running text, <distance> is not respected and 185 bottom margin falls low. 186 ---Fixed--- 187 188 189 Version 1.1.6-e 190 =============== 191 192 The " mark (doublequote), when entered while not in document 193 processing mode (i.e. just straightforward typesetting), outputs 194 nothing unless SMARTQUOTES is invoked explicitly. 195 ---Fixed--- 196 197 Version 1.1.6-c 198 =============== 199 200 In document processing mode, docs that use *none* of the 201 docprocessing tags being ignored. 202 ---Fixed--- 203 204 Version 1.1.6-b 205 =============== 206 207 String tabs not picking up #L_MARGIN when #L_MARGIN not explicitly 208 set with L_MARGIN, PAPER or PAGE. 209 ---Fixed--- 210 211 Infinite loop when B_MARGIN is set lower than FOOTER_MARGIN during 212 doc processing. 213 ---Fixed--- 214 215 Version 1.1.6-a 216 =============== 217 218 Mom partially broken when run with groff 1.19.1. Don't know yet 219 what this is, whether bad coding in mom, or a problem with 1.19.1. 220 Only solution for now: run mom 1.1.6 with groff 1.18. 221 ----Fixed--- 222 223 Top margin of endnotes pages after the first endnotes page when 224 PRINTSTYLE is TYPEWRITE and endnotes single-spacing is turned on 225 falling one line too high. 226 ---Fixed--- 227 228 Version 1.1.6 229 ============= 230 231 DOCHEADER OFF (distance) not being respected. 232 ---Fixed--- 233 234 FINIS killing ENDNOTES page numbering and heads. 235 ---Fixed--- 236 237 Version 1.1.5 238 ============= 239 240 Draft and revision not appearing in page headers. 241 ---Fixed--- 242 243 \*[RULE] not working properly with indents and justified copy. 244 ---Fixed--- 245 246 Post-epigraph spacing in TYPEWRITE causing some first pages to run too 247 deep. 248 ---Fixed--- 249 250 Spacing of docheaders in TYPEWRITE not always consistent. 251 ---Fixed--- 252 253 Version 1.1.4 254 ============= 255 256 Blockquotes that span pages running too deep. 257 ---Fixed--- 258 259 Version 1.1.3 260 ============= 261 262 Footnotes not outputting on final page of document body when ENDNOTES 263 is invoked. 264 ---Fixed--- 265 266 Pad not working properly and/or spitting out warnings when fill mode is 267 on. 268 ---Fixed--- 269 270 Version 1.1.2 271 ============= 272 273 PAGENUM_STYLE being ignored unless entered after START. 274 ---Fixed--- 275 276 Version 1.1 277 =========== 278 279 String tabs not working as advertised when set from within other tabs. 280 ---Fixed--- 281 282 .COLLATE sometimes depositing a header on the first page of a subsequent doc. 283 ---Fixed with workaround BREAK_QUOTE--- 284 285 .UNDERLINE_QUOTES in PRINTSTYLE TYPEWRITE not on by default as advertised. 286 ---Fixed--- 287 288 .TI not cooperating with other indent styles. 289 ---Fixed--- 290 291 .WS and .SS not cooperating. 292 ---Fixed--- 293 294 .RW and .EW not working. 295 ---Fixed--- 296 297 ======================================================================== 298 299 KNOWN PROBLEMS 300 -------------- 301 302 The indent macros from the typesetting macro set may not always 303 perform well in conjunction with the document processing macros, 304 especially when documents are set in columns. Mostly, this is the 305 result of inadequate testing. There are only so many "who'd want to 306 do this anyway?" scenarios I can think of on my own. 307 308 Epigraphs at the bottoms of page may sometimes run exactly one line 309 deeper than they should. The alternative (from my point of view) is 310 to have them run 1 line shorter than they should. The problem stems 311 from the fact the epigraphs are leaded differently than all other text, 312 and there's only so much adjusting that can be done with the whitespace 313 surrounding them to get them to bottom align. Since stylistically, 314 epigraphs should never appear at the bottom of a page/column without at 315 least some running text beneath them in order to make sense of the role 316 they play in page layout, this not likely to be fixed for some time. 317 318
