Re: How to handle troff sources

1998-04-27 Thread Andreas Tille 
Hello,

according to the hints I wrote a Makefile which I woul ship with
the paper sources so that per default troffcvt is used to produce
HTML output.  Invoking make ps/txt/dvi/asc produces ps/latin1-text/
dvi/ASCII.

My problem is, that the sources use pic commands and troffcvt isn't
able to handle some tabular code produced by pic.  The other formats
created by groff work well with this code.  Should html be the
default despite this fact.  I havn't any knowledge about  troff
so I'm unable to fix the bug.

Regards

Andreas.

   2) If yes what would you include in the Makefile?
  1. troff -> ps (of course)
  2. troff -> what else

You could support troff -> html and so on if you use the troffcvt
package to do most of the work.

How to handle troff sources

1998-04-27 Thread Andreas Tille 
Hello,

I'm busy to build the wordnet package.  After some problems in the
beginning I think the build process works so far and I get the
packages as I like them.

The wordnet sources contain some troff formatted documents.  The
maintainer of the former wordnet release decided to support them in
Postscript.  This isn't the best way I think.  I want to ship
the troff sources including a reasonable Makefile.

Now my questions:
1) Would you think that it is a good idea to chip the troff sources
   in the *.deb package?
2) If yes what would you include in the Makefile?
   1. troff -> ps (of course)
   2. troff -> what else

Regards

   Andreas.
