Description Emmanuel Touzery 2005-05-05 11:30:45 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The mplayer man page at least is not properly displayed in yelp; this is in
ubuntu hoary (stable).
I saw other bugs about yelp badly rendering/converting man pages, but i thought
this one is more specific since i give a certain page, and may also be a
different conversion bug than others.

i'll attach a screenshot to show the problem. yelp indents sections while the
real man page doesn't.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

a screenshot of the problem.

this screenshot shows yelp on the left, and the man page (correct) on the
right. this is for the mplayer man page on ubuntu hoary. you can see that yelp
has a wrong rendering on the man page, indenting cropdetect, rectangle, expand
etc sections more and more while they are not indented at all in the original.

I can confirm this bug with 2.11.1.  Marking as NEW and upping versions, and
lowering severity since man page functionality is not enabled by default.
Comment 3 Brent Smith (smitten) 2006-01-07 05:57:12 UTC 
The problem here is that yelp can't handle the .de request (which mplayer.1) uses to redefine an .RS macro.  Marking as dependent on 326058 since that fixes the major formatting issues with this man page.
Comment 4 Claude Paroz 2008-05-02 08:19:50 UTC 
It seems that resolution of #326058 fixed this problem. At least, the mplayer man page displays now correctly.
