What is wrong with the following:
$ man -d /usr/man/htmlman1/ntsec.1.html
using /usr/bin/lynx -dump to dump HTML pages as text
using default preprocessor sequence
found tbl(1) directive
man:
not executing command:
(cd "/usr/man/htmlman1/.." && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /usr/bin/cat
'/usr/man/htmlman1/ntsec.1.html'; echo ".\\\""; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") |
/usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc 2>/dev/null | /usr/bin/less -isrR)
/usr/man/htmlman1.$ type man
man is /bin/man
Note: a "html" page is calling "cat" and "tbl", not lynx. The file
appears to be valid html, it is one from cygwin's site. Is it being
thrown a loop by seeing something like a table?
