+%description
+mandoc is a suite of tools compiling mdoc, the roff macro language of choice
+for BSD manual pages, and man, the predominant historical language for UNIX
+manuals. It is small, ISO C, ISC-licensed, and quite fast. The main component
+of the toolset is the mandoc utility program, based on the libmandoc validating
+compiler, to format output for UTF-8 and ASCII UNIX terminals, HTML 5,
+PostScript, and PDF.
+
+%package -n libmandoc
+Summary:        A validating compiler for mdoc and man
+
+%description -n libmandoc
+The mandoc library parses a UNIX manual into an abstract syntax tree (AST).
+UNIX manuals are composed of mdoc(7) or man(7), and may be mixed with roff(7),
+tbl(7), and eqn(7) invocations.
