 Probably, running it through tbl(1) should fix this.

   |  Probably, running it through tbl(1) should fix this.

 I haven't seen the page in question, but it might be the exact
 opposite problem - certainly the mkisofs(8) man page (from
 pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrtools) gets installed after being run through
 tbl - but the man command looks for TS and runs tbl if found.
 The TS macro has an entirely different (well, related, but still
 quite different) meaning when input to tbl, from when used in the
 output from tbl.   What results from "man mkisofs" - which sends tbl
 output back into tbl again - isn't quite unreadable, but it certainly
 has unreadable sections.

 Just changing the TS/TE in the installed copy I had to DS/DE made
 it workable - (whether or not man/mdoc supports DS/DE - just deleting them
 would probably have worked as well) - but better would be to avoid that
 kind of preprocessing and just allow man to work it out.

 Module Name:	pkgsrc
 Committed By:	ghen
 Date:		Thu Mar  5 09:20:57 UTC 2009

 Modified Files:
 	pkgsrc/wm/wmii: Makefile

 Log Message:
 Run the wmii.1 manpage through tbl(1) before installation to fix PR pkg/39822.
 Alternatively, the manpage could be installed as wmii.tbl, so man(1) will pipe
 it through tbl at runtime, but I don't know how portable this behaviour is.
 Bump PKGREVISION.
