- 1 Apr as bs2tk posted to comp.lang.tcl (126 lines)
- 2 bullets, change bars, copyright symbol
- 5 boldface, other SGI nicks
- 7 skip unrecognized escape codes
-10 small caps
-13 underscores considered uppercase so show up in default small caps font
- screen out Ultrix junk (code getting pretty tangled now)
-14 until Tk text has better tab support, replace tabs by spaces until get to next tab stop (for Ultrix); -t gives tabstop spacing
-20 Solaris support (Larry Tsui)
- 3 Jun section subheading parsing (Per-Erik Martin)
-28 hyphenated man pages in SEE ALSO show up correctly in Links (Mike Steele)
-13 Jul under FILES, fully qualified path names are added to Links, but this taken out immediately because not useful

- 5 Aug search for header, footer dynamically--no need to edit or search large list of patterns
-11 -m kicks in man page formatting beyond nroff backspace kludges
-27 handle double digit numbers better by trying again relative to end of line
-19 Sep -T gives Tk extras (otherwise ASCII only)
- -H gives headers only (implies -T off)
-10 Oct -r reverse compiles to [tn]roff source (as Geoff Collyer's nam and fontch, but leveraging existing analysis so only addition of ~60 lines) (The code is device-driver obscure now--obfuscated C contest next.)
-13 header and footer optionally available at bottom in Tk view (Marty Leisner)
-19 "reflected" odd and even page headers&footers zapped
-20 keep count of sections and subsections, using smaller font for larger numbers
- 1 Nov reverse compiles to Ensemble, except for character ranges
- 4 started rman rewrite for cleaner support of multiple output targets, including: plain ascii, headers only, TkMan, [nt]roff, Ensemble, SGML, HTML
- 5 line filtering separated from other logic despite greater sophistication, RosettaMan faster than bs2tk (!)
-28 Dec man page reference recognition (Michael Harrison)

-1994
- 1 Jan identify descriptive lists by comparing scnt2 with s_avg
- 3 tail-end table of contents in HTML documents

-22 Feb alpha version released
- 6 Mar various bug fixes
-10 beta version released
-13 Jun fixed surious generation on <DL>'s (the existence of which pointed out by David Sibley)
-22 Jul table recognition experiment. works reasonably well, except for tables with centered headers
- 3 Aug allow for off-by-one (and -two) in identification of header and footer
- fixed problem with recurrent/leftover text with OSF/1 bold bullets (yeesh)
-12 Sep 2.0gamma released
-13 check for *third* header, possibly centered, possibly after blank lines (Charles Anderson)
- fixed tag ranges for lines following blank lines (just \n) of pages with global indentation (Owen Rees)
-19 fixed two small problems with LaTeX (^ => \^, \bullet => $\bullet$) (Neal Becker)

-26 deal with bold +- as in ksh (ugh)
-30 2.0delta released

-25 TkMan module's $w.show => $t, saving about 9% in generated characters
-
-
-1995
- 1 Jan experiment with TkMan output to take advantage of my hack to Tk text (i.e., $t insert end "text" => $t insert end "text1" tag1 "text2" tag2 ...); results => output size reduced about 25%, time reduced about 12-15%
-25 Mar back to old mark command for Tk module
-8 May hyphens in SEE ALSO section would confuse link-finder, so re-linebreak if necessary(!) (Greg Earle & Uri Guttman)
