I am writing a manpage for a new program, and have run into a
snag. Following is a fragment from my draft:
.TP
Headers are prepended to the file giving the URL of the site from
which the original database was obtained, and the name of the
dictionary.
man renders this as:
Headers are prepended to the file giving the URL of the
site from
which the original database was obtained, and the
name of the dictionary
If I delete all newlines in this paragraph, it is formatted
properly, but I would prefer not to include such a messy looking file
in the package. Other paragraphs in this manpage format properly.
As a separate question, what is the difference between the .BI
and .BR tags? Can anyone point me to documentation that explains the
nroff tags? So far, I just blindly adapting another manpage.
Bob
