I'm losing the rightmost character of many lines. I think I know why this happens... sysinstall uses libdialog as the interface library. The READMEs and other text files are displayed in a text dialog box that is COLS columns wide and ROWS rows high. The rightmost and leftmost columns are saved for the libdialog borders. Thus the maximum visible width of a text file in libdialog is (COLS-2) columns. In an 80-column terminal, this is 78. But the documentation files are formatted with a -width option of 80 and thus sometimes wrap at 79 columns. I think we should probably set HTML2TXTFLAGS to add extra `-width 78' options to links while building the release notes. Bruce, what do you think abou this? - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
