Thanks, Edward Sanford Sutton, III
In trying to troubleshoot tabs replacing spaces on manpages found on
FreeBSD's website. As it isn't an issue in the original manpage, it
seems to be involved in how the webpage versions are created. They
aren't found or created in the documentation project build steps but a
running web server creates them on the spot by running
doc/website/content/en/cgi/man.cgi. Within that script it tries to
execute man.wrapper which I have been unable to find. Anyone know where
I can get or make a copy of it or what else I may have been doing wrong
to get the cgi script going?
The issue seems to be related to every time 1+ spaces end at a
tabstop, they are all replaced with a tab for PR #s 269214, 266433,
262225. I'd say either only use it at the start of a line with multiple
spaces adding up to tabstops and end it when other characters are
reached or better yet don't do it at all.
Another thing I have seen but not yet sure why is that the hyphen
between an initial command and its description is turned into a double
hyphen though I am not sure why.
