Description Greg Martyn 2005-12-30 11:04:50 UTC
Version:           man:/ protocol (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When viewing the proc.5 manpage in konqueror using the url man:/usr/share/man/man5/proc.5.gz, some of the text is misaligned. Specifically, under the '/proc/[number]/stat' section, the line:
'tty_nr %d The tty the process uses.'

should not be indented. It isn't indented when using the command, 'man proc.5'.
Comment 1 Greg Martyn 2005-12-30 11:05:44 UTC
Additionally, "The tty the process uses" should be indented and on the next line.
Comment 2 Greg Martyn 2005-12-30 11:07:55 UTC
Same thing happens with the "0 %ld This value is hard coded to 0 as a placeholder for a removed field." line
Comment 3 Nicolas Goutte 2005-12-30 21:50:48 UTC
Good, the problem is that there are comment lines after the line having the .TP sequence.
