* The mdoc(7) .Ft macro does not need quoting of its arguments, but aboutschwarze2025-06-131-7/+7
| | | | | | | 10% of our manual pages using this macro employed useless quoting anyway. Remove these quotes such that they do not incite fear, uncertainty, and doubt in developers who happen to look at these pages. jmc@ and tb@ agree with the direction.

* EC_POINT_new: wording tweaks in the BUGS sectiontb2025-05-181-6/+6

* Rework EC documentationtb2025-04-251-377/+129
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the giant, poor quality and outdated EC_GROUP_copy.3, EC_GROUP_new.3, and EC_POINT_new.3 manuals with seven new manuals written from scratch. * EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() is the entry point for builtin curves, * EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() describes lower level API that should not usually be needed apart from a handful of accessors. * EC_GROUP_check() contains two functions that applications should not need because either you know for certain something is an elliptic curve (so these checks are pointless) or you should not use it. * EC_GROUP_get_curve_name() describes some low level ASN.1 footguns and corresponding getters. * EC_POINT_new() contains the simple EC_POINT allocation and freeing API * EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates() contains the coordinate accessors * EC_POINT_point2oct() is about encoding elliptic curve points While all this is quite far from perfect, the diff is getting too big and it will be easier to improve this in tree. It is definitely more repetitive than I would like it to be. Reviews, tweaks and general feedback are of course welcome. discussed with jsing
