Hi Ben, Ideally, we would distribute the original roff(7) POSIX documents, and not convert back again from HTML to man(7). If POSIX sends (or publishes) their original roff(7) documents, I'll be happy to work with them (In fact, I'd probably completely skip HTML, and add the minimum to make the roff(7) source work as man(7) pages). Thanks, Alex Hi Alex, I was under the impression that the maintainer of man-pages-posix had access to the roff(7) sources: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages-posix.git/tree/README, but perhaps I misunderstood this. Apparently the sources can be obtained by contacting The Open Group?

Michael, is there any possibility of obtaining the roff sources of these tables? Ben |
