Running "man xsltproc" returns a man page badly formatted. For example I see many keywords such as .HP, .PP, .RE and text is badly aligned. On the other hand bold fonts seem to be correct. I see the man page is correct here: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=xsltproc&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+12.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html Maybe the fact that I run 13.0-CURRENT can be part of the cause of the problem.
Moin moin Yeah you're right that manpage looks broken for me locally too. mfg Tobias
Created attachment 210726 [details] svn-diff-man-xsltproc Trying a patch, hope it is right.
Created attachment 210727 [details] xsltproc.1.new Attached my new xsltproc.1, if there additional changes needed.
Created attachment 210729 [details] svn-diff-man-xsltproc_v2 Found two errors.
Created attachment 210730 [details] xsltproc.1.new_2
The line 10 .TH "XSLTPROC" "1" "$Date$" "libxslt" "xsltproc Manual" is not correct, should have the form like .TH "XSLTPROC" "1" "$Date: 2008\-04\-21 16:28:56 +0200 (Mon, 21 Apr 2008) $" "libxslt" "xsltproc Manual" but I don't know if the date is correct (got this from ubuntu). Last line of the manpage shows now: libxslt ==> $Date$ XSLTPROC(1)
I don't use the ubuntu manpage, I only use it as example for formatting.
Lorenzo could you please confirm whether the manpages look ok to you with Walter's patch? mfg Tobias
Created attachment 211037 [details] misalignment screenshot Most of the issues seem to be fixed by the patch (I tried svn-diff-man-xsltproc_v2), but there is still a pair of problems: - text is misaligned (see screenshot attached for an example); - a .PP survived in the See also section; - at the center of the very last line there's the string '$Date$' instead of a date; - in the Description section you can find a double space: 'line. xsltproc'. I would also have avoided the last space in 'It will use the standard input if a filename provided is - .' (space between - and .) but maybe this was done on purpose.
About '$Date$', see also comment #6.

If it is desired to have a more simple last line (with the date), it is easy to edit line 28 in the patch (no new patch is needed).
Comment on attachment 211052 [details] svn-diff-man-xsltproc_v4 Text misalignment and .PP are fixed. In the Description section there is still the double space: 'line. xsltproc' between the dot and 'x'. The space after '-' in the sentence 'It will use the standard input if a filename provided is -' has been removed, but the final dot has been lost as well.

Here is the "point" back. The error with the double space I did not found (but I don't think this is important).
(In reply to Walter Schwarzenfeld from comment #16) The point is indeed back. If you want to get rid of the double space too you can do it by replacing the new line in the source with 1 space. I.e. change the 2 lines document with a Stylesheet Processing Instruction, no stylesheet need to be named at the command line\. \fBxsltproc\fR will automatically detect the included stylesheet and use it\. into the unique line document with a Stylesheet Processing Instruction, no stylesheet need to be named at the command line\. \fBxsltproc\fR will automatically detect the included stylesheet and use it\. I tested by editing the installed man page and it worked that way.
