Hi Everyone,
Just a thought. I was looking at the code for this today and I think
it's not something I'd know how to fix. Anyway...
I wonder why it is that paragraphs inside a -ms .RS/.RE block get turned
into a table by grohtml.
The same happens with .IP. (maybe other requests too.)
Wouldn't it be better if a <div> were generated with an indentation? And
an unordered list for .IPs?
For example...
.RS
.IP \(bu
sun is shining
.IP \(bu
the weather is sweet
.IP \(bu
make you wanna move
.IP \(bu
your dancin' feet
.RE
...would produce...
<div style="margin-left: +2cm">
<ul style="list-style: none">
<li>• sun is shining</li>
<li>• the weather is sweet</li>
<li>• make you wanna move</li>
<li>• your dancin' feet</li>
</ul>
</div>
The only issue I see is, "how do you know where to put the </ul>?".
Probably on processing the next paragraph-like request.
In my opinion, using tables for lists and indents seems clunky and
doesn't really look so good in the context of a web browser. It also
makes the HTML hard to read for debugging...
