| Summary | 0001334: Possible bad troff to HTML conversion in Portability Considerations section of XRAT | ||||
| Description | In D.2.10 Command Language: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/V4_port.html#tag_24_02_10 In the list of commands, we have: sleep, tee, test, CONVERSION ERROR (.Cm) time *,1 true, wait, The conversion error text seems erroneous. time is also not a hyperlink to time.html, unlike the other commands in the list. | ||||
| Desired Action | Get rid of "CONVERSION ERROR (.Cm) " text and make time a hyperlink to the intended time utility. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
In the PDF (P3771, L129440-129443) the only hyperlink is to Section 2.14. It would be nice if the utilities in that list were hyperlinks as in the on-line version. The conversion error does not appear in the PDF. Note that time utility has a footnote in both the HTML and the PDF, but there is an extra space between "time" and "*" in the HTML that isn't in the PDF. I would guess that there is a bug in the .Cm macro processing when producing the HTML. |

It looks like the HTML translation tool doesn't correctly handle a footnote marker in a macro argument. The source here has:.Cm time *,\*FI looked for other places where "\*F" appears on a line beginning with "." and found there is only one other such place, and it also has a translation problem. It's in XRAT Section E Subprofiling Considerations under POSIX_SYMBOLIC_LINKS, where the troff source: .Fn lchown ,\*Fis rendered in the HTML version as: ,,()href="#tag_foot_2">2 |
|
|
This conversion error and two other conversion errors in XRAT have been corrected. |
|
|
The lchown conversion has also been fixed. Files updated in XRAT: V4_subprofiles.html V4_xbd_chap12.html V4_xbd_chap03.html V4_port.html Download bundles have been updated. |
