Does "file" distinguish between troff using man macros and arbitrary troff?

I'll recheck, but I think lower it to "priority=1" to be below man-db. > Did you consider something like -Tpdf, which generally looks much nicer? > Is it possible to chain MIME handlers, so that we can say "this command > converts text/troff into image/pdf, and then you should go and work out > how to display image/pdf"? I don't think there's a general mechanism to express conversions. But a given mailcap entry can run whatever combination of converter and viewer/printer/editor it might like. A "test=" would want to check that a suitable viewer is available. "run-mailcap" can probably be asked nicely to help make such a check. >> application/x-troff-man; /usr/bin/man -Tascii -l '%s' | col -b; >> copiousoutput; description=Man page; priority=2 > > Why not -Tutf8 here? As far as I can tell the mailcap spec (RFC 1524) is silent on what coding a copiousoutput ought to emit. Maybe locale encoding would be likely. (I presume I imagined -Tascii would be certain to work, but I don't remember ... :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
