[9fans] APE paper

[David Tolpin]

Hi,

The paper about APE at http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/ape.html
has turned to be much longer than I though it was. I am not saying
it is a excuse for the story with hypot, but in my browser, it ends
on the paragraph about BSD_EXTENSION (in Mozilla Firebird).

It does rightfully so because < and > are not escaped, and 
<bsd.h> is just an unknown tag with unterminated content.

I understand it is a feature of ms2html. I would like to try
to fix it (as soon as I package graphviz -- but dot and neato
are working already and drawing nice graphs).

this is weird. if i build ms2html it does the right thing, but the pages
served by the web are bad.

I remade ape.html and it comes out right.  I think what was there was the
output of some previous version of ms2html.

I'm remaking everything in /sys/doc, just in case.  You might see things
in transition of you look over the next few minutes.

It contains all the text it needs, but something is still wrong.
The second sentence in paragraph about Pcc  contains

#include <tt>#include &lt;&lt;I&gt;file&lt;/I&gt;&gt;</tt>, displayed
as #include <<I>file</I>>; later in the same paragraph, markup formed
by 'tt' tags become unbalanced, with many extraneous <tt> tags inserted,
as one of results, the rest of paragraph after word 'objtype' is
printed in fixed-width font.

I know, I'm working on ms2html.c now to figure out what's happening.

curiously, I don't see this.   ape.html can be read fine by Links.☺
I also checked of /sys/doc/ape.html of our local version,

--rw-rw-r-- M 9 sys sys  14176 Apr 28  2002 ape.html
--rw-rw-r-- M 9 sys sys  12595 Mar 18  2000 ape.ms
--rw-rw-r-- M 9 sys sys 258779 Jun 13  2000 ape.ps

and all the files looks fine to me.

I fixed ms2html somewhat last night and then fixed ape.html.  I went
and read the troff reference manual and figured out what I did
wrong processing macro args.  I still can't make troff.html but I
know why.  I'll have it fixed this morning, ran out of time last
night.

Its clear I had no idea how troff works when I wrote
ms2html.  This isn't going to be fixed any time soon.
It isn't just the APE paper.

the quality would suffer, but you could easily adapt ms2html to use
troff2html, which knows much more about troff but a lot less about html.
