Done; thanks! And as I said in another thread, I changed it back to ascii, since I noticed a problem with boxed tables (actually several).
I noticed another issue: for some reason, the boxed tables are being generated wider than the terminal, exactly by one char. If I specify -rLL=80, the right edge of the box is placed at column 81; if I specify LL to be 72, the right edge of the box is at col 73.
See the example below (I tweaked it to use 64 chars to overcome Thunderbird issues):
$ tbl man3/err.3 \
| eqn -Tascii \
| troff -man -t -M ./etc/groff/tmac -m checkstyle -rCHECKSTYLE=3 \
-ww -Tascii -rLL=64n \
| grotty -c \
| col -b -x \
| (! grep -n '.\{64\}.')

22: noreturn void verrx(int eval, const char *fmt, va_list args);

Do you know how I can fix that?
- $(GROFF) $(GROFFFLAGS) $< \ + $(TBL) <$< \You've ditched passing the filename, instead using standard input. This prevents the filename being passed through the pipeline which will presumably result in poorer messages. $ tbl /etc/passwd | grep '^\.' .if !\n(.g .ab GNU tbl requires GNU troff. .if !dTS .ds TS .if !dTE .ds TE → .lf 1 /etc/passwd $
Fixed too. Cheers, Alex -- Alejandro Colomar <http://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
