If you have a manual > page commit you'd like reviewed, you're welcome to ask me. I haven't finished my docproj install yet, but is there a way to use sgmlformat to split troff code? If such a thing is not possible, or can not be instructed to spit out troff code that does not break the usual manpage style, there is always the chance that some crazy guy like me can convert commiters guide to -mandoc and keep the thing up to date as changes to committers-guide are submitted. I think I could try the conversion and put the commiters(9) online somewhere for review before some kind commiter soul brings it in the source tree. I don't believe what I just said. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
