They can't, because the info format is PREformatted for that size. It doesn't contain enough markup to reflow it without breaking precious content that's been carefully laid out by the author. The advantage of things like docbook is precisely that they can be reflowed without breaking things (well, not so easily anyway). Now, we could provide automatic translation to "man" format; or we just make "man" able to shell out to a viewer that can handle docbook, or run a translator to produce HTML on the fly, or ... Sun converted to SGML format for man pages (I believe it was a tweaked version of DocBook) many years ago, it's possible, and it would be very nice indeed to do this. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
