This applies to yesterday's build of FreeBSD-4.8 from CVSup update. # man troff Formatting page, please wait...troff: fatal error: can't find macro file tty-char Done. This started happening at least a few days ago, and I've been unable to resolve it. Since I tried also building from /usr/src/gnu/groff as well, no problems with the compile, but this continues to...

...is for a while. This is FreeBSD-4.9-Prerelease: # gdb man man GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD) This GDB was configured as "i386-unknown-freebsd"...(no debugging symbols found)... /usr/share/tmac/man: No such file or directory. And when I go to run a manpage, I sometimes get this error: # man troff Formatting page, please wait...troff: fatal error: can't find macro file tty-char Done.

HPUX doesn't seem to ship with a set of troff macros that can handle the OpenSSH manpages. Maybe other OSs have this problem? Rather than sodding about with the tmac/ directory, I think we should do one of two things: 1. Ship a set of preformatted manpages, and either auto-install them in $prefix/man/cat{1,1m} or just have instructions in...

Hi Folks, I'm wondering if there are people out there who would be interested in what would be involved in developing an interface between R graphics and the 'pic' language. Explanation; 'pic' has been part of the Unix 'troff' typesetting suite since very early days (1970s), and also of the GNU troff: 'groff'. Its function is to act as a preprocessor, translating textual descriptions of graphical displays into the formatting language used by troff. Example: .PS ## Need x- and y-scale factors to exist befor...

That worked out pretty well, but I have some reservations about using POD as a canonical format. While it does make it pretty simple to write manpages, it's sort of an obscure format, and is heavily associated with perl. Meanwhile, t...

Documentation for S3 functions is apparently written in troff markup with macro tags like .BG .FN .TL .DN .CS ... Inspection of S3 documentation source files gives a pretty clear idea of what these mean, semantically (and Sd2Rd is a perl script which converts this markup into the Rd format, providing further semantic information along the way). My q...

...( lpd is running as user bin, group root ) The second problem is that a lot of the helper applications were not built with security in mind. One example of this is groff. There are several troff/groff ''requests'' that allow commands to be executed. The result is that anyone with a simple understanding of troff can send a troff document to a remote server, causing the remote server to execu...

...l related, but are depended upon by many other X Window System packages to provide common definitions and porting layer. No code nor headers were changed in this release - this solely consists of the move of the X11 Protocol specification from xorg-docs to this module, and it's conversion from troff to DocBook XML by Matt Dew (with some followup markup massaging by yours truly). There is of course still room for improvement as there are over a hundred pages to be proofread - patches accepted if you see ways to make the output better. The standard xorg-macros options are provided in configur...

Kurt, if you really want to find out what things an S help file can contain, you must learn some nroff/troff [ maybe use 'groff', the GNU one ]. As always, ultimate documentation is == source. The definition of the S help is in the two files $SPLUS/cmd/help.[nt]r where nr ^= nroff, i.e. ASCII output tr ^= troff i.e. printed output (e.g via Postscript conversion) help.tr starts with...

I have a large number of troff help files which are automatically converted to .Rd files. Many of these have examples which contain the printed output of the examples. This makes example(functionname) not work. Is there a way to avoid removing all this output by delimiting it in some way such that the output will not appear i...

Hi Folks, I'm trying to locate the source code for a (typical) R graphics device, in order to study how it's done. The underlying reason is that I'm thinking of trying to create a graphics device for 'pic' (the diagram drawing component of [g]troff). I thought the xfig device would be a good place to look, since the format of an xfig file is similar in nature (though very different in detail) to 'pic' code. When, in R, I type "xfig" to see the R code, I get the line .Internal(XFig(file, old$paper, old$family, old$bg, ol...

Question for R users under unix: Do you ever edit figs created by R using xfig or some other program? I tried to edit a figure with xfig (a program which I find quite horrible by the way) and it said it couldn't read it in. I guess xfig has no capability of reading postscript files? Can anyone tell me how to do it, or perhaps suggest another freeware structured drawing program for use in

Hi, here's a short summary of all the mails I got concerning the R help system during the last days ... I really want to have all open questions in this list, so if I forgot your most important topic please forgive (and remind me again) ... it's probably only because of lack of time such that I had to compile the list in a hurry ...
