Stop using 'x' column modifier in tables that don't need it. That's the the case when none of its entries use text blocks, and none oversets the 65n/6.5i line length used by AT&T nroff/troff.
Consequently, drop use of this extension when not needed. Old tbl programs abort completely when encountering this extension character. (I've submitted a patch to Plan 9 from User Space tbl, which is still maintained, to disregard unrecognized column modifiers with a warning. <https://github.com/9fans/plan9port/pull/739>) We still need to scrub the 'x's out of table descriptions on systems whose tbl(1) errors out ("quits") when encountering them. * man/curs_addch.3x: * man/curs_attr.3x: * man/curs_terminfo.3x: * man/curs_threads.3x: * man/form_driver.3x: * man/terminfo.head: * man/terminfo.tail: * man/tput.1: * man/user_caps.5: Do it. --- man/curs_addch.3x | 2 +- man/curs_attr.3x | 6 +++--- man/curs_terminfo.3x | 4 ++-- man/curs_threads.3x | 2 +- man/form_driver.3x | 2 +- man/terminfo.head | 2 +- man/terminfo.tail | 2 +- man/tput.1 | 4 ++-- man/user_caps.5 | 2 +- 9 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/curs_addch.3x b/man/curs_addch.3x index 518844c32..717281a0d 100644 --- a/man/curs_addch.3x +++ b/man/curs_addch.3x @@ -288,7 +288,7 @@ .SS "Forms-Drawing Characters" .TS Lb Lb Lb Lb Lb Lb Lb Lb -Lb L L Lx. +Lb L L L . \& ACS acsc \& Symbol Default char Glyph Name _ diff --git a/man/curs_attr.3x b/man/curs_attr.3x index b7a7e5f9e..4eccc63ca 100644 --- a/man/curs_attr.3x +++ b/man/curs_attr.3x @@ -275,7 +275,7 @@ .SS "Video Attributes" .RS .TS Lb Lb -Lb Lx. +Lb L .
