From 4eeab8824de1d07d0b36a7f1368cc632ce905ead Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "G. Branden Robinson" Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2023 16:36:27 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] doc/Guidebook.txt: Update table annotations Explain behavior of GNU tbl when setting boxed tables on terminals. Drop reference to bug fixed in groff 1.23.0 . There's not much to say about other tbls except that they handle boxed tables _terribly_ on terminals. $ cat ./hello-table.roff .TS box; L. hello .TE $ ./bin/tbl ./hello-table.roff|./bin/nroff|cat -s # Heirloom Doctools _______ hello _______ | | | DWB tbl behaves the same way. I expect all System V Unix-descended tbls/nroffs do the same. --- doc/Guidebook.mn | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/Guidebook.mn b/doc/Guidebook.mn index 47caa1d0b..58f342a8a 100644 --- a/doc/Guidebook.mn +++ b/doc/Guidebook.mn @@ -251,13 +251,13 @@ The way the screen looks for you depends on your platform. .\" situations.
