[GRASS5] tools/g.html2man/g.html2man update (PERL) to support table tag?

Hi,

I just discovered that tools/g.html2man/g.html2man
does not support tables
(see e.g. current r.in.gdal, r3.out.ascii etc)

g.manual -m r.in.gdal
g.manual -m r3.out.ascii

are looking messy in the table section.

Would be nice to have that fixed for the final release,
but I don't know much PERL.

r.in.gdal doesn't have a <TABLE>, just <PRE>.
man version looks just fine here.
?

I don't think r3.out.ascii was using <TR> correctly which may account
for the lack of newlines, but regardless I've replaced TABLE with PRE
now.

Should be change all tables to pre? I would prefer to have
g.html2man fixed (maybe doing pre tricks there).

Ok.

See also:

cd docs/html/
grep -il '<table' *.html

database.html
display.html
full_index.html
general.html
imagery.html
paint.html
photo.html
postGRASS.html
postscript.html
r3.out.ascii.html
raster3D.html
raster.html
r.in.gdal.html
r.terraflow.html
vector.html

r.in.gdal.html -- <TABLE> or not at all
r3.out.ascii.html -- changed to <PRE> already
r.terraflow.html -- just for images, doesn't matter for man version

the rest are all navigation pages, man versions without hyperlinks
are of limitted use (I guess module list with descriptions is useful..)
+ man versions don't exist currently ('g.manual -m vector' .. not found).

Should be change all tables to pre?

certainly not for the lastest r.in.gdal change.
(you really want to maintain that table? for people without internet?)

I would prefer to have g.html2man fixed (maybe doing pre tricks there).

Yes. I think automatic <pre> tricks is hard to get right.

yes (I just extended the existing one)

for people without internet?)

yes (also for our convenience)
