I have to say I regard this as a pretty minor problem compared to others I've seen grohtml have with man pages. However, I would also say that it's wrong that running eqn on an input document that doesn't even _use_ eqn should change anything about the rendering. That's weird. ...and it turns out I can't reproduce this. $ preconv man3/_Generic.3 | tbl | eqn -Thtml | troff -man -Thtml -Wbreak | post-grohtml >| _Generic-eqn-Thtml.html $ preconv man3/_Generic.3 | tbl | eqn -Tps | troff -man -Thtml -Wbreak | post-grohtml >| _Generic-eqn-Tps.html $ stat -c '%s %n' _Generic-eqn-T* 3010 _Generic-eqn-Thtml.html 3010 _Generic-eqn-Tps.html $ diff -u _Generic-eqn-T* --- _Generic-eqn-Thtml.html 2024-03-22 14:32:37.651496863 -0500 +++ _Generic-eqn-Tps.html 2024-03-22 14:32:24.779577657 -0500 @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ <!-- Creator : groff version 1.23.0.1081-32530 --> -<!-- CreationDate: Fri Mar 22 14:32:37 2024 --> +<!-- CreationDate: Fri Mar 22 14:32:24 2024 --> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> <html> I can't think of anything in the last 179 commits that would have affected this, but...179 slightly exceeds the capacity of human working memory.
