Manpage lists have too much space between items #4578
Comments
This is by design for compatibility with the output produced by the DocBook toolchain. I'd be willing to consider adding support for the Another option is to extend the manpage converter and override the markup that it generates. |
I think overriding the manpage converter is better as it's probably intended for other formats to have more spacing around list items, though, I have no knowledge of Ruby so I'll wait for someone to implement this. On an unrelated note: this project is awesome and asciidoc is a very nice format, thank you for your work on the project :) |
Thanks for your kind words! |
Let me know what you'd like to do. Like I said, I'd be open to honoring the compact role, but if you'd like to override the converter, then I won't spend time on that proposal now. |
Well, I would certainly love to have a compact role, but I'm not at all experienced in ruby. I would love to help if you think it's doable, though :) |
Yes, I think it's doable. If you'd like to try and need help, please ask in the project chat at https://chat.asciidoctor.org. |
Here is an example file that reproduces the issue:
I expected the lines to not contain any lines around them, but it seems that lines are added around every list item. Here's the output of
asciidoctor -b manpage pod.adoc -o - | man -l
:I expected to see something like this:
I tried to see if if was possible to change this behaviour by searching the unordered list page but it only mentions styles there.
If this is inteded behaviour, would it be possible to add a way to change this?
