The tbl(7) source it generates looks in part like this: .TS center; n n n n. _ _ _ _ 2173 77.1 13765 53.6 = = = = .TE groff creates solid lines as in the book: --------------------------- 2173 77.1 13765 53.6 --------------------------- But mandoc breaks the lines between cells: ---- ---- ----- ---- 2173 77.1 13765 53.6 ==== ==== ===== ==== Side note: while using = for the double line is an improvement over groff, in UTF-8 the double line is output with U+2501. Wouldn't U+2550 be more appropriate? The typeset output displays a double line, not a heavy line. -- Anthony J. Bentley -- To unsubscribe send an email to tech+unsubscribe@mandoc.bsd.lv
