Follow-up Comment #14, bug #60602 (project groff): > this GitHub project seems not to have been updated in a while (December 2019, IIRC), and Node itself has moved on.
That's not how things work in the JavaScript world. ECMAScript, unlike Python, is designed to remain compatible with all existing and legacy codebases, as introducing any incompatibilities would break existing websites. What you might be seeing is an uncaught exception raised by Roff.js's attempt at loading a tmac file that expects ms(7) to be loaded first (it appears to be a new package, as I would've noticed `.ab` being used and fixed it a lot earlier…). Roff.js isn't reliant on Node, though, and though it should theoretically work in the browser console without modification… except I only just realised how slack I was with this project, as running this in the online-demo <https://rawgit.com/Alhadis/Roff.js/web-demo/index.html> shows a missing function: view.loadFile("https://github.com/Alhadis/Roff.js/raw/master/test/fixtures/cat/v7-ed.cat";); ReferenceError: readFile is not defined columnNumber: 32211 fileName: "https://rawgit.com/Alhadis/Roff.js/web-demo/min/all.js" lineNumber: 1 message: "readFile is not defined" I really need to resume work on this, because it's still very much an unfinished project. You otherwise could've pasted the raw C/A/T output into the previewer and it would've interpreted it properly (provided it was transmitted as binary). I'm an idiot... _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60602> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
