Hello,
I am a pretty hardcore user of txt2tags, mostly for Unix Man page
generation and subsequent HTML generation as well.
I am a Unix Engineer who uses all of the major flavors of Unix and often
must write man pages for the software that I develop. The txt2tags tool
is by far the best tool to help with that process. Other free tools
don't even come close (aside from writing raw *roff code by hand).
I do have a question about using tables on Solaris 10.
The following code does not render properly using Solaris man(1):
|| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
| Availability | SUNWxyz |
| CSI | enabled |
| Interface Stability | Standard |
When using man(1) (or even nroff -man), it renders as:
allbox, tab(^); ll.
ATTRIBUTE TYPE^ATTRIBUTE VALUE
Availability^SUNWcsu
CSI^enabled
Interface Stability^Standard
And on HP-UX, it renders as:
________________________________________
ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE
________________________________________
Availability SUNWcsu
________________________________________
CSI enabled
________________________________________
(With the rest of the man page following as really messed up).
Yet on Linux, it renders OK:
+---------------------+-----------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+---------------------+-----------------+
| Availability | SUNWcsu |
+---------------------+-----------------+
| CSI | enabled |
+---------------------+-----------------+
| Interface Stability | Standard |
+---------------------+-----------------+
The HTML rendering is fine too.
I am thinking there is an issue with the .TS tbl code generated by
txt2tags. Has anyone ever ran into this bug before?
Thanks!
