My build line was: groff -Thtml -mdoc NEWapcpwr.8 > NEWapcpwr.html But the results are still unsatisfactory. The -Tascii version looks fine, but the HTML version still has formatting problems. I've posted them as follows: http://sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net/apcpwr/apcpwr.8 http://sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net/apcpwr/apcpwr.8.diff http://sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net/apcpwr/NEWapcpwr.8 http://sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net/apcpwr/NEWapcpwr.html apcpwr.8 - original post from John <jwd@bsdwins.com> apcpwr.8.diff - diff -u apcpwr.8 NEWapcprw.8 NEWapcpwr.8 - my patches from the previous post already applied. NEWapcpwr.html - formatting problems still show up under the COMMANDS section. though the section headers now behave. Anyone else have any insight here? Best Regards, jpb ===
