If you use the sample file: http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/asciidoc.1.txt and the sample command: a2x --doctype manpage --format manpage asciidoc.1.txt and then look at the file with the man command: man ./asciidoc.1 Does it get formatted properly? > How can this be?

The normal kind: nroff/groff source that uses the "an" macro set. I'm a little puzzled why hyphens are always escaped in the output (I've ever needed to do that in my hand-generated man file source), but it works just fine. > Could it be that the 'man' tool I am using doesn't recognize the format > that a2x produces?? Could be, but we don't know what 'man' tool you're using or how you're invoking it. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
