The HTML code generated in basesrc/distrib/notes is ghastly.  Here is an example from the 1.5.1 i386 INSTALL.html:

22.3 MB gzipped, 98.8 MB uncompressed
<p><dt>pkgsrc<dd>

In addition to this, the macppc INSTALL.html is unweildy enough that Internet Explorer 5 for MacOS choke on the file, and only displays the first half.

There is also a lot of whitespace in addition to useless tags, for example (from the same file):

/usr/src
with the command:
     <p>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
#( cd / ; tar -zxpf - ) < set_name.tgz
<br>
     <p>
The

By removing useless tags and whitespace, the HTML file will be smaller, quicker to load, and take up less space.

 Mozilla can not display it too, IE 5 and Netscape 4.75 on Win32 work though.

 Yes, I was trying to point out that only a very limited set of PowerPC web
 browsers will display it properly, particularly under NetBSD or MacOS (the
 "native" OS for this platform).

 Yet another reason I filed PR install/13533 (to generate PDF versions of
 the INSTALL notes).

 Hm, yes, but it's not just the useless tags and the whitespace which
 is fouling things up.  E.g. there exists OF prompts (unquoted >'s),
 and "<return>"s in some of the examples; which doesn't exactly improve
 things either.  (The install notes for sparc, sparc64, sun3 and vax
 (and probably more) also had similar problems, as you'll see.)

 I've toyed some with sed and awk this afternoon, and came up with the
 script below.  If the install notes from what's currently 1.5.3_ALPHA
 is pushed through this script, the result passes weblint's checks, and
 there are thus no more any empty elements.

 Admittedly, this may not be the correct solution in the long run, but
 I'm not qualified to tell whether the groff macros can be improved or
 how it should be done.  (I've taken the liberty to CC'ed some troff
 expertise above.)

 You'll also note that there's a fair numbe of special-purpose
 substitutions in the script to cater for unquoted >'s and <'s in some
 various odd places; these should probably be properly dealt with in
 the troff sources, where possible.  Also, continuing along that path
 is clearly not "scalable"...

 If you'd care to pass the current macppc INSTALL.html through this
 filter and see if the result is viewable on MacOS, it'd be
 appreciated; I can't tell from where I sit at the moment.

 I'm wondering if we should consider implanting such a post-processing
 step as shown below for the netbsd-1-5 branch, therefore CC'ed
 releng-1-5.

 Havard,

 Thanks!  That script, and the recent revisions to the INSTALL.html
 generation have helped significantly.  I've gotten it to load just fine
 with Netscape 4.7, Internet Explorer 4.5 (for Classic), IE 5.5 for MacOS X,
 and OmniWeb 4 (for MacOS X).

 Load time and scrolling speed is dramatically increased.

 I agree that a post-groff script isn't the "right" solution given that the
 groff html generation needs to be fixed, but for the time being, we should
 at least manually run INSTALL.html through your script before releasing the
 1.5.3 INSTALL notes.

 I've just done an overhaul on the macppc INSTALL notes and placed a copy on
 my webserver (after running through your script).
 http://www.blobulent.com/~mw/INSTALL.html

 It does a good job of cleaning up, but weblint still finds some empty
 container element <P> and <A> tags, as well as trouble with one of my
 tables.

 Look at (for example) line 733 with a bunch of blank space ending with a <p>.
 At line 4100, after the <table> tag, there's
 	<br>
 	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 	<br>
 Additionally, and this really isn't much of a problem, the table of
 contents reference .To produces <a name="Introduction"></a>.

 The new script I just posted will fix the empty <p> and <a>'s as well,
 once the < and >'s are properly quoted in the nroff sources.

 Well, there's no such sequence in my post-processed versions; I'm not
 on-line at the moment to verify other sources.

 I've added code to deal with that as well (should be in that latest
 copy); apparently this happens on deep nestings of header levels.

 Hi,

 I've taken a stab at -current's install notes, and you can find
 attached diffs to the notes (basically quoting > and <'s), and a
 revised editing script.  With that diff (modulo the fact that the
 amiga install notes don't build on my netbsd-1-5 system (or at all?))
 weblint is quiet on the transformed html files in my case.

 I'll next take a new stab at the netbsd-1-5 notes, fixing them the
 "right" way.

 Regards,

 - H=E5vard

 Actually, the awk script also goes:

 9) Get rid of <p> within the <pre> context; it's illegal there.

 I've got a table in the macppc INSTALL notes, and there are also a pile of

 Yes, that's right.  The macppc INSTALL pages render much better now.  I'm
 mostly satisfied with it, but the task of reaching true HTML compliance is
 a worthy goal.

 Hi,

 I've again been toying with my "munge nroff-generated html code for
 install documentation" script, this time with the aim of actually
 making the result fully validate as standards-compliant HTML 4.01
 Transitional, verified by passing it through the W3C validator at

    http://validator.w3.org/

 While doing so, I found a couple of things which need fixing:

  o doc2html needs to be taught to use <pre>, and not the other
    way around.  <pre> cannot be a child of  according to the DTD
  o the literal html code in common/main which reduces the font size
    before including the "legal mumbo-jumbo" needs to install a "dummy"
    <object> because a <dl> cannot be the child of <font>, again
    according to the DTD

 Diffs for these fixes plus my new fixup-html.sh script which actually
 makes the sparc64 install notes pass the validator without warnings
 follows attached below.

 I'll admit that I'm not certain of the change in .Bd, i.e. whether the
 .if covers both lines or only the single line (not enough nroff macro
 clue in this end) -- feedback desired.

 I've even made a visual diff of the result, compared to the un-munged,
 using phoenix as the web browser, and there are now only minimal
 differences (as opposed to before, where the <p> in <p><li> was remove
 from all entries, as opposed to now where it's only removed from the
 first entry).

 Comments?

 Regards,

 - H=E5vard

 Hm, OK.  Let's see if I can find a better fix; I'll probably have to
 reorder the stuff.

 Yep.  However, this may be a leftover from the original version where
 I toyed with this, on the netbsd-1-5 branch.  At that time I recall
 there essentially being no </font> entries in the generated HTML, and
 the current output doesn't contain any "<font size=3D"+0">" entries.

 Agreed.  However, my current nroff macro abilities do not manage to
 spot the appropriate fix in these cases.

 > I didn't really read the awk script, since it doesn't describe

 Heh, well, I'll try to explain what it fixes up:

 1) It inserts an appropriate <!DOCTYPE line at the front.
 2) It removes the <p> before <html> which is otherwise there
 3) It inserts a charset specification in the header
 4) It collapses multiple occurrances of <p>, each on a line by itself
    to a single occurrances (that's what the "pseen" variable is about)
    That, however, appears to have been a problem of the past.
 5) Many lists have a <p> between the list opening (<ul>, <ol>, <dl>)
    and the first list element, which isn't allowed.  That's what the
    "dlstart" / "liststart" variables try to do.  The list entries
    themselves can have trailing <p>'s, however, so I leave those alone
    (they appear as <p><li> in the generated output, so the groff
    macros probably thinks it sticks them in at the front of each
    item...)
 6) It removes text between <table> and the initial table element, be
    that <th>, <td> or <tr>.  Some of the tables (eh, actually, the
    single table...) have a <br> inserted there, which is illegal.
 7) Earlier versions had multiple </html> elements, which this script
    sees to becomes only a single such element.  That's a problem which
    is now gone.
 8) It substitutes &quot; for " in lines without any markup.  I think
    this was partly for convenience when I used emacs to view the
    result; some of the install notes have unblanced double quotes, and
    I was using "fontifying"...

 I think that about sums it up.

 Heh, maybe.  I think some of the problems mentioned in the orignal PR
 went away once the >'s in the text were replaced with proper markup;
 the diff which was applied is also part of the PR.

 .if only concerns the line itself.
 If you want to .if a bigger block, you have to add curly braces:
 .if something \{
 foo
 bar
 .\}

 This looks really strange, since you replace an opening tag
 with a closing tag. I guess it works for the particular

 The macro that generates them in the wrong order should be
 fixed, if possible.

 Here too.

 And here.

 I didn't really read the awk script, since it doesn't describe
 why it's doing what it's doing.

 Btw, the macppc pages are supposed to be really badly formatted
 for PostScript, perhaps you want to try your scripts on its
 HTML version? :)

 I still hope someone will rewrite doc2html to make use of groff-1.19
 features, but for now, this looks like a usable workaround.

 How relevant is this any more? (last update was in 2003, nearly 13
 years back)

 ... on the one hand our documentation preparation support hasn't
 improved, but on the other hand hopefully all the postprocessing
 patches that were being discussed have been committed by now ...
