Yeah, in a few schmears of activity over the last 18 months or so, I have made a good number of improvements to the manpages stylesheet in the DocBook XSL stylesheets distribution -- adding support for tables and a good number of other things. I think it could be worthwhile to update the mutt man-page build process to use that manpages stylesheet, along with using the HTML stylesheet and possibly changing the PDF build over to use the XSL-FO stylesheet instead of the (no longer supported) DSSSL/Jade stuff it uses now. And I would be willing to put some time into setting that stuff up (if the mutt committers think it might be worthwhile to do it). --Mike > > On 2007-03-02 08:10:08 -0800, Brendan Cully wrote: > > > From: Brendan Cully <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > To: Paul Walker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Cc: Mutt Developers <mutt-dev@mutt.org> > > > Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2007 08:10:08 -0800 > > > Subject: Re: What's needed for mutt 1.6? > > > X-Spam-Level: > > > DKIM-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=relaxed; d=kublai.com; > > > > > > h=received:received:date:to:cc:subject:message-id:references:mime-version:content-type:content-disposition:in-reply-to:x-operating-system:user-agent:x-delivery-agent:from:mail-followup-t > > > o; q=dns; s=dk; bh=nrrlC8NOnm0l0RevXFQXrEmZjhQ=; > > > > > > b=s5VsO918sVMrEhXixZbKe1B6kl9euwp6EzPnxmO5O6fZK+1KavmYVhkwJ/Q8HIvdWWWM3HIYKxz2+qDMIYumy/rUqiuCzrx0oeph/C3+m69a+P2bGewrSc1BQIgWMhfo3oXV7KH0GCtQtEiahfdiIYIwnJ5IZiwYW0/V8wQitwc= > > > > > > On Friday, 02 March 2007 at 14:47, Paul Walker wrote: > > > > On Wed, Feb 28, 2007 at 02:13:53PM -0800, Brendan Cully wrote: > > > > > > > > > We just need to make sure that eg asciidoc does what mutt needs.
