  • 1.  Bug fix for xslt stylesheets (manpage format)

    Posted 12-21-2022 15:17
    L.S.

    I'm unsure about the development process of the docbook xslt stylesheets, and whether they are
    actively maintained. In case they are:

    Please find attached a patch for the conversion to manpage format. The patch is based on the
    docbook-xsl-1.79.2 stylesheets distribution.

    Explanation:

    Hunk 1 corrects a missing newline that caused the man program to not recognize a new table section.

    Hunk 2 prevents that redundant white space, introduced into in an xml source document by the xml
    editor program[*], is copied verbatim into the text of a manpage table cell, thus compromising
    alignment of the text.

    [*] I'm using XMLmind XML Editor


    Sincerely,

    Erik Leunissen

    Thanks for this patch.  I've submitted it as a new issue to the Issue
    Tracker for the DocBook xslt10 stylesheets on Github.

    Thanks for taking care of that (and all other things related to docbook xsl b.t.w.).
