Then it works. Running that option on the _installed_ page like so:
$ man -pt powstatd
doesn't work.
The uptream author said I should be able to view the man page
using:
$ gtbl powstatd.8 | nroff -man | more
This works. But how I do get the user to see this ouput?
I could do `gtbl powstatd.8 | gzip -c > /usr/share/man/man8/powstatd.8.gz`
but the resulting man page generates a few errors before
displaying correctly:
zsoelim: powstatd.8:197: warning: newline in .lf request, ignoring
and the man page format looks awful (processed beyond
recognition).
Don't we follow the same man standard as Red Hat?
Any suggestions about what I should do?
Thanks!
