It's better, really! I've applied your patch to the CVS.
Nevertheless, still some bugs in it. As usual, I'm refering to man.1
of the mandb package; my command to create man.html was
groff -U -t -man -Thtml -P-r -P200 man.1 > man.html
.) The `-w , --where, --location' node at the beginning of man.html
shouldn't be there at all.
.) Some paragraphs still contain hyphenated words (e.g. first
paragraph of the `DESCRIPTION' section).
.) Is it possible to have anti-aliased PNG images?
.) The item `man --help' in the `EXAMPLES' section doesn't start a new
paragraph.
.) In the description of the -r switch (in the `OPTIONS' section),
there is a new paragraph in the middle of a sentence.
.) What about centering the images? Or does it depend on the table
itself?
.) In the `OPTIONS' section, `-c, --catman' and `-d, --debug' are
glued together which shouldn't happen.
.) Sometimes, an empty line is missing between items, e.g. between the
description of the -e and the -f options.
.) After the `-w, --where, --location' line, there is a superfluous
empty line.
.) The indentation in the `FILES' section is inconsistent. The same
is true for `-V, --version' a few lines above.
Keep on with your excellent work!
