https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215971 Bug ID: 215971 Summary: dd(1p) manpage contains empty ASCII to EBDIC tables Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: ben@bvnf.space Regression: No The POSIX standard includes at the end of the `OPERANDS` section tables displaying "the octal number character values used for the ascii and ebcdic conversions (first table) and for the ibm conversion (second table)." https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/dd.html#tagtcjh_25 In the above HTML edition of POSIX.1-2018, these tables are images, but are generated from troff source. In the man-pages-posix converted manpage `dd(1p)`, the tables are empty; only the titles are present: ``` ... .ce 1 \fBTable 4-7: ASCII to EBCDIC Conversion\fR .bp .sp .ce 1 \fBTable 4-8: ASCII to IBM EBCDIC Conversion\fR .SH STDIN ... ``` Perhaps the tables could be preprocessed with `tbl` and included in the manpages? -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
