I ran into this a few times, too. For example, in "man:mmap", the function signature appears to be:

void *mmap(void *start, size_t lengthprot, int flags,
           int fd, off_t offset);

At first glance, it's not even obvious that "lengthprot" is totally wrong.

The correct output from "man" is:
void *mmap(void *start, size_t length, int prot, int flags,
           int fd, off_t offset);

The source of the man page contains:
.BI "void *mmap(void *" start ", size_t " length \
", int " prot ", int " flags ,
.BI "           int " fd ", off_t " offset );

So I guess Konqueror gets confused by the backslash?

Incorrect render of FreeBSD sh(1) manual page (that can be found here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/bin/sh/sh.1?rev=1.102.2.9;content-type=text%2Fplain
)

The source

.Bl -column "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" -offset center -compact
.It Li & Ta Li && Ta Li ( Ta Li ) Ta Li \en
.It Li ;; Ta Li ; Ta Li | Ta Li ||

it renders as

                   & Ta && Ta ( Ta ) Ta \n 
                   ;; Ta ; Ta | Ta || 

instead of as seen in text mode:

                   &     &&    (     )     \n
                   ;;    ;     |     ||

The source

.It Li [n]>> file
append stdout (or file descriptor n) to file

views as

           [n > file ] 
               redirect stdout (or file descriptor n to file

instead of

           [n]> file     redirect stdout (or file descriptor n) to file

The source

.It Ic alias Oo Ar name Ns Oo = Ns Ar string Oc ... Oc

views as

     alias [name [= string ... ] ] 

instead of

     alias [name[=string] ...]

The source

.It Ic bind Oo Fl aeklrsv Oc Oo Ar key Oo Ar command Oc Oc

views as

     bind [-aeklrsv -] -[file ... -file ... -key -[file ... -file ... -command -] -]

instead of

     bind [-aeklrsv] [key [command]]

and so on.

Here using:

Qt: 4.5.1 (qt-copy  958974)
KDE: 4.2.71 (KDE 4.2.71 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090428))
kdelibs svn rev. 960693 / kdebase svn rev. 960693
on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.1

The mmap page is shown properly and there are not such glitches.
Can anyone else confirm this ?

Thanks

Here using
KDE 4.2.71 (KDE 4.2.71 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090428))
with qt-copy 4.5.1 (rev 963686)

The manpage doesn't render correctly for me.

Dario: maybe your mmap manpage file is different? In bug #176377 (which I guess is a duplicate) I attached a manpage where this also happens, you might want to test with that one too.

*** Bug 176377 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Perhaps http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=912147 fixed this bug, too?

Nope, bug is still in 4.5beta2.

As you can see in man:gcc (search for -Wenum-compare) text replacements are also rendered incorrectly. At the head of that file this is defined:

.ds C+ C\v'-.1v'\h'-1p'\s-2+\h'-1p'+\s0\v'.1v'\h'-1p'

Later they use \*(C+ which should give "C++" (somehow pimped) which doesn't give any output with konqueror

*** Bug 244861 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I fixed now the \(enter) handling seen in man:mmap(2), but as this report describes also some other problems, I'll leave it open.

Any chance this can get into 4.6?

Comment #8 problem is now also fixed in trunk and branch 4.6 (as was done also for the previous fix)

I've now also fixed the first problem of Comment #2 with the tag-list. What's left are the "alias" and "bind" problems.

Thanks a lot for working on this!

*** Bug 227693 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Both mmap and gcc pages render correctly for me now. Is there something left or can this bug be closed?

See comment #13 - alias and bind from comment #2 are still open
