Subject: mandoc vs Xo in It argument
Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 17:58:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100525155838.GA49421@acme.spoerlein.net> (raw)
Hey guys,
while further cleaning up the FreeBSD manpages, I'm now at a point where
I have to fix the Xo/Xc fallout. Why exactly is this allowed:
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
.It Xo
.Ft void
.Xc
.It Xo
.Fn auth_destroy "AUTH *auth"
.Xc
.Pp
A macro that destroys the authentication information associated with
But not this
.Bl -column "CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT" "struct sockaddr_in"
.It Dv CLSET_TIMEOUT Ta Xo
.Vt "struct timeval" Ta "set total timeout"
.Xc
.It Dv CLGET_TIMEOUT Ta Xo
.Vt "struct timeval" Ta "get total timeout"
.Xc
.El
And is there a better way to rewrite this other than putting all the
arguments to .It on the same line (which quickly runs over 80 columns).
People really seem to like these three column tables ...
Regards,
Uli
