Are you using '\" te as the very first line, like in this nroff code snip: '\" et ..TH "blah" 1 "08 Dec 2009" "SCFWdevtools" ..SH NAME ..PP blah \- do nothing quite effectively ..SH SYNOPSIS ..PP \fBblah\fR \fI\-x \-y \-z [file ...]\fR OpenSolaris is not the same as "corporate" Solaris 10. And there is no inidication that they will ever cross at this point. I only work with Solaris 10. I'll look and see if I can get on an OpenSolaris box to make sure '\" et works.

What about: %!postproc: '@sp@' ' ' ? It's not very elegant, anyway it's working for me on Linux, but I can't tell for other unix: || Table Heading | Table Heading | | Table | align | | test space | @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ @sp@ | | with cell | nice! | I've tried on opensolaris 2009.6, it seems the spaces are present, but I can't make your escape sequence to work on the first line so I can't see the table. -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ txt2tags-list mailing list https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/txt2tags-list

I solved that already. What I haven't solved yet is similar to what the other person was asking...inserting whitespace into a table -- but for man/nroff instead of HTML. What I want to do is force the borders out further. Any idea how to do this in txt2tags man/nroff? The non-blanking space solution may work great for HTML, but no idea how to do the same for man/nroff at the moment. By the way, for the record, I will be submitting patches soon for txt2tags if you guys want to implement them. One patch will address the '\" et issue for Solaris (it won't break any other platforms because it will be seen as a comment on all others). And the other patch will be for .nf/.fi blocks on HP-UX. Apparently HP-UX nroff requires a .PP after .fi or else the entire rest of the document is hosed. This is why my tables were not working there, but it had nothing to do with the tables. It took me a while to find out that everything after the nroff .fi (in t2t, using ```) was broken. My solution was just to change the ".fi" to ".fi\n.PP\n" in the Python code for the man module. Again, it works fine on all other Unix platforms. Do you folks see any problem with me submitting these patches to you for review?

Re: [t2t] Re : non-breaking spaces in a table ?
I remember your problem but it was a bit complicated for me because I've never generated a man page from txt2tags. If you just want to add '\" et to the first line of your man page, you may try: %!postproc(man): ".TH" '\" et\n.TH Hope this can help.

[t2t] Re : non-breaking spaces in a table ?
Hello, Maybe it's not the perfect solution, but here is a little trick which could solve your problem: Add this in the headers: %!postproc(xhtml): "WHITESPACE" ' ' (you can replace WHITESPACE by what you wish, @@SPACE@@ for example) (you can also use it for xhtml or html) Then create your table like this: || Table Heading | Table Heading | | Table | align | | lines | is | | WHITESPACE |WHITESPACE | | with cell | nice! | Then the postproc directive will replace WHITESPACE with in the final html document. And welcome to our new happy user of txt2tags ! :) --- En date de : Lun 7.12.09, Frédéric Lieutaud a écrit : > Hello, > > I'm a new user to txt2tags and I'm struggling with > tables.
