Package: jq
Version: 1.6-2.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
i read the jq manpage to a vim buffer (:r !man jq) to test examples
and realized i got those errors:
Optional Object Idtbl:<standard input>:2170: unrecognised format 'T'
tbl:<standard input>:2170: giving up on this table
tbl:<standard input>:2178: unrecognised format '\'
tbl:<standard input>:2178: giving up on this table
tbl:<standard input>:2184: unrecognised format 'o'
tbl:<standard input>:2184: giving up on this table
tbl:<standard input>:2188: unrecognised format '('
tbl:<standard input>:2188: giving up on this table
tbl:<standard input>:2194: unrecognised format '('
tbl:<standard input>:2194: giving up on this table
so tables are not rendered. this is because all the table headers are
missing. example
.TS
allbox;
This example should show the difference between \'=\' and \' =\':
.TE
should be
.TS
allbox;
l l.
This example should show the difference between \'=\' and \' =\':
.TE
so i wrote a patch
2169a2170
> l l.
2177a2179
> l l.
2183a2186
> l l.
2187a2191
> l l.
2193a2198
> l l l.
in general, the manpage quality is very poor and broken patterns appears
regulary so i suspect it was generated from a tool the authors should
avoid.
i'll be happy to help writting a decent manpage (maybe using mandoc?).
regards
marc
