From fdbf040027bc4aa775c3dc5df17a9ef7f8c628ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: esr Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 00:58:04 +0000 Subject: This commit fixes makeman and the HTML sources so that they generate manual pages that pass strict validation with doclifter. The required changes are widely scattered but relatively minor. Most are just tweaks to command-invocation syntax descriptions. One large class of these simply moves running text out of SYNOPSIS sections into OPTIONS sections. Another thing I had to do frequently was regroup syntax description so that plain-text tokens (e.g. filenames without surrounding [] or trailing ...) are on the same line with syntactic specials such as [ | ] { } ... (Both these changes accommodate the limits of mechanical markup parsers Even doclifter's, which is quite sophisticated and knows how to detect some natural-language patterns, has trouble telling some simple forms of command synopses from running text and will sometimes try to parse text commentary as command syntax, with unhappy results.) This commit also adds (to buildtools/Makefile.manpages) install and uninstall productions that distribution packagers can use to install the generated manual pages in /usr/share/man. I fixed a few spelling and usage bobbles I found along the way. git-svn-id: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/netpbm/code/userguide@218 9d0c8265-081b-0410-96cb-a4ca84ce46f8 --- pamfile.html | 11 +++++------ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'pamfile.html') diff --git a/pamfile.html b/pamfile.html index f78ba740..16c39d33 100644 --- a/pamfile.html +++ b/pamfile.html @@ -20,12 +20,6 @@ pamfile - describe a Netpbm (PAM or PNM) file [file ...] -
