hi,
I'm trying to come to terms with the details of `getopts'. I managed to
get a correctly formatted manpage via
myscript --man
however, using
myscript --nroff 2>&1 |nroff -man
does not generate the same formatting. rather, line breaks (or, rather,
paragraph breaks) between option descriptions are missing, i.e. the second
option description starts somewhere in the middle of a line immediately
after the end of the previous option description (I'm using groff version
1.21.).
I looked at the `--nroff' output generated `getopts', but do not remember
enough troff to modfiy the `.OP' macro quickly.
question: how can I enforce correctly formatted nroff -man output (or
troff, for that matter, in order to generate pdf-versions of the manpage)?
thanks,
joerg
