I will start creating cat pages for the next release
automatically, 'added manually for the last months ago, in order
to support old Solaris (Schily) aka Solaris/XXX which do not have
the mdoc(7) macro package.
# And generate the HTML manual, while here
if [ -z "${grappa}" ] && command -v ${roff} >/dev/null 2>&1; then
echo 'nail.1: creating HTML manual'
< nail.1 MDOCMX_ENABLE=1 ${roff} -Thtml -mdoc > /tmp/nail-manual.html
echo 'nail.1: creating ASCII cat1 in '"${TMPDIR}"
< nail.1 MDOCMX_ENABLE= ${roff} -Tascii -mdoc > "${TMPDIR}"/s-nail.cat1
echo 'nail.1: creating mdocmx ASCII xcat1 in '"${TMPDIR}"
< nail.1 MDOCMX_ENABLE=1 GROFF_NO_SGR=1 \
${roff} -Tascii -dmx-toc-force=tree -dmx-debug=1 -mdoc |
col -b > "${TMPDIR}"/s-nail.xcat1
fi
Yieeeha! (Btw a system with /rescue is _so_ cool!)
