The HTML docs are then processed by w3m to produce ASCII versions. w3m appears to compleatly ignore <i> tags even in interative mode and it ignores both <i> and <b> tags in -dump mode. This means that no indication of emphasis is transmitted to the ASCII form which potentialy distorts the text's meaning. >How-To-Repeat: Create ASCII docs. >Fix: The fix is going to be something like patching w3m to have a mode where it emphasises things like *this* or something. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
