any roff-fu i had expired at my last birthday.
i've recently switched to use asciidoc, which seems to support tables
----
https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/tables/build-a-basic-table/
----
i convert to man using a configuration file (asciidoc.conf) from Eli
Schwartz:
----
https://github.com/eli-schwartz/aurpublish/blob/master/doc/asciidoc.conf
----
my makefile rule:
----
./%: %.asciidoc asciidoc.conf
${A2X} --no-xmllint --asciidoc-opts="-f asciidoc.conf" -d manpage -f
manpage $<
----
(i'm sure all this could be improved.)
converting to asciidoc been liberating, though i'm sure, like any of
these "lightweight markup languages", defeats attempts at fine-tuning
(which, itself, can be very liberating :).
cheers, Greg
