<para>If the value of the

<parameter>man.output.better.ps.enabled</parameter> parameter is
|
||
|
|
non-zero, certain markup is embedded in each generated man page
|
||
|
|
such that PostScript output from the <command>man -Tps</command>
|
||
|
|
command for that page will include a number of enhancements
|
||
|
|
designed to improve the quality of that output.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>If <parameter>man.output.better.ps.enabled</parameter> is
|
||
|
|
zero (the default), no such markup is embedded in generated man
|

|
|
pages, and no enhancements are included in the PostScript
|
||
|
|
output generated from those man pages by the <command>man
|

-Tps</command> command.</para>

<warning>

<para>The enhancements provided by this parameter rely on

|
features that are specific to groff (GNU troff) and that are
|
||
|
|
not part of “classic” AT&T troff or any of its
|
||
|
|
derivatives. Therefore, any man pages you generate with this
|
||
|
|
parameter enabled will be readable only on systems on which
|
||
|
|
the groff (GNU troff) program is installed, such as GNU/Linux
|
||
|
|
systems. The pages <emphasis role="bold">will not not be
|

readable on systems on with the classic troff (AT&T
|
||
|
|
troff) command is installed</emphasis>.</para>

<para>The value of this parameter only affects PostScript output

effect on output generated using the FO backend.</para>

<tip>
|
||
|
|
<para>You can generate PostScript output for any man page by
|
||
|
|
running the following command:</para>
|
||
|
|
<programlisting> man <replaceable>FOO</replaceable> -Tps > <replaceable>FOO</replaceable>.ps</programlisting>
|
||
|
|
<para>You can then generate PDF output by running the following
|
||
|
|
command:</para>
|
||
|
|
<programlisting> ps2pdf <replaceable>FOO</replaceable>.ps</programlisting>
