The above command instructs groff to load *both* an-old-fixed.tmac and an.tmac, so it loads the macro set twice. I would not be surprised if loading the groff_man(7) macro set twice would cause some kind of trouble. Then again, this command works for me with groff-current: $ groff -Tascii -P-c -man -man /usr/share/man/man1/cvs.1 | less So loading the macros twice is not completely broken in general. Consequently, i suspect that something is not quite right in your file an-old-fixed.tmac or that that file does not exist in the expected directory at all. But it's hard to say because you really do not provide any information that would allow diagnosing your problem. All that said, to convert manual pages to HTML, you really want to use mandoc(1) rather than groff(1). Yours, Ingo
