L.S.
I'm unsure about the development process of the docbook xslt stylesheets, and whether they are
actively maintained. In case they are:
Please find attached a patch for the conversion to manpage format. The patch is based on the
docbook-xsl-1.79.2 stylesheets distribution.
Explanation:
Hunk 1 corrects a missing newline that caused the man program to not recognize
a new table section.
Hunk 2 prevents that redundant white space, introduced into in an xml source document by the xml
editor program[*], is copied verbatim into the text of a manpage table cell, thus compromising
alignment of the text.

Sincerely,
Erik Leunissen
