Subject: -column issue
Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2010 08:05:50 +0059 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100806070614.GD2107@bramka.kerhand.co.uk> (raw)
hi. there's a formatting issue for -column lists. the best example i can
find is in openbsd's sysctl.3 (it's riddled with these):
.Bl -column "Second level nameXXXXXX" integerXXX -offset indent
.It Sy Second level name Type Changeable
.It Dv FS_POSIX_SETUID No " integer yes"
.El
(the items are tab-separated)
groff formats it thusly:
Second level name Type Changeable
FS_POSIX_SETUID integer yes
all 3 column headers are displayed in Sy font.
but mandoc gets the spacing wrong:
Second level name Type Changeable
FS_POSIX_SETUID integer yes
additionally, only "Second level name" is rendered in Sy font. "Type"
and "Changeable" are unaffected.
these -column lists are icky!
