| Summary | 0002200: pdfroff manual page will not format | ||||||
| Description |
Attempts to nroff the /opt/csw/man /man1/pdfroff.1 file produce the following output: ------------------------------------------------------------ User Commands PDFROFF(1) NAME pdfroff - create PDF documents using groff \\$* SYNOPSIS Groff Version 1.19.2Last change: 18 May 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------ That\'s it! I haven\'t looked closely, but the macros in this file must be interfering with the man macros. Also notice that the last line in the output runs together. This is probably another artifact of the bad internal macros. -- Jeff |

Trust the the groff writer to not be able to write troff macros. The problem is the man pages are designed for groff and not troff as is used by the man command. My workaround for the pacakge is to pre-format the pages in man/cat, this page slipped through unformatted. To format your own copy: # sed -e \'/.TH/a\\ .ll 65n\' /opt/csw/share/man/man1/pdfroff.1 | \\ groff -T ascii -m man | \\ sed -e \'s/[^m]*m//g\' -e \'s/~/ /g\' > /opt/csw/share/man/cat1/pdfroff.1 The first escaped line break is important to sed, the other are just normal line wraps. Don\'t get too excited as pdfroff produces double copy of the output. I recommend using GS\'s ps2pdf, which is what the script does anyway: $ groff -m man /opt/csw/share/man/man1/pdfroff.1 | \\ ps2pdf /dev/fd/0 > pdfroff.pdf |

Finish the job with: # installf -R / CSWgroff /opt/csw/share/man/cat1/pdfroff.1 then the formatted file will belong to CSWgroff and be removed on update. edited on: 04-08 05:08 |

Closing, new package released with preformatted pdfroff man page in man/cat which is best I can do simply. |
