Here's how I worked out what the problem was. $ printf '%s\n' \ > 'rod\m[red]knight\m[]rod' \ > 'rod\m[grey]matter\m[]rod' | > troff -Thtml ... H0 md trod mr 65535 0 0 tknight md trod wh24 trodmatter mr 65535 0 0 trod n40 0 x trailer V23999760 x stop $ The `65535 0 0' just before the `knight' is the RGB for red. And I can see an `md' after it before the black `rod' so that must reset it. But there's no colour change for `matter', it's just in the same `t' as its preceding `rod'. So `\m[grey]' isn't having an effect, and that explains why the second `\m[]' is switching back to red, the previous colour. At this point, I turned on -wall. :-) ... > troff -wall -Thtml >/dev/null <standard input>:2: warning: color `grey' not defined $ Sure enough, $ grep -r 'defcolor.*\<grey\>' /usr/share/groff /usr/share/groff/1.22.3/tmac/dvi.tmac:.defcolor grey rgb #bebebe /usr/share/groff/1.22.3/tmac/ps.tmac:.defcolor grey rgb #bebebe $ html.tmac has lots of colours, but not `grey'. You can define your own so you know they will exist for different output devices. Looking at the output of `troff -Thtml' for you three-colour, LCR, tabbed, header I see the `devtag' for the centre column, so it's odd why its content appears in the right-hand <td> in the HTML. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
