Are "some common distros" namely Debian stable *exclusively*? If so, I would consider flipping the default the other way around, espececially since it's only te default shipped by the Debian stable packages (easily fixed by `gem install asciidoctor`). > If users are using a more modern toolchain or don't care > about the rendering issues, they can enable the option.

Where is that \\fP coming from? I don't see that with xmlto, nor the publicly genrated man pages[1]. 3. Doesn't work on my machine without my original \e; I see "\fBgittutorial\fR(7)". I don't see any way this is an improvement. Cheers. [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-manpages.git/tree/man1/git.1

I will look into this, but in my opinion it's not worth complicating the doc toolchain for ancient distributions. The only time people are going to notice something is when: 1. They build git with USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=YesPlease USE_ASCIIDOCTOR_MANPAGE=YesPlease 2. They use an ancient distribution 3. They use the ancient distribution's asciidoctor packages, instead of Ruby's asciidoctor gem 4. They open a manpage generated by this process 5. They select text that specifically has an apostrophe 6. They copy this text 7. They paste this text somewhere else Then, they *might* see some issue. Yeah, let's not worry about about this *too much*. > > Suggested-by: Bagas Sanjaya <bagasdotme@gmail.com> > > Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com> > > Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> > > --- > > I've preserved Felipe's authorship on this patch because much of it is > > his work.

All the current TXT_TO_* definitions use asciidoc. Moreover, I'm currently working on some cleanup patches to make TXT_TO_MAN work with asciidoc + xmlto, so this is future-proof. > > --- a/Makefile > > +++ b/Makefile > > @@ -285,6 +285,9 @@ all:: > > # Define USE_ASCIIDOCTOR to use Asciidoctor instead of AsciiDoc to build the > > # documentation. > > # > > +# Define USE_ASCIIDOCTOR_MANPAGE to use Asciidoctor's manual page backend > > +# instead of building manual pages from DocBook. > > +# > The wording should be "...instead of building manual pages from DocBook with > xmlto". That's why in my opinion it should be the other way around: USE_ASCIIDOCTOR_XMLTO=No. Then the expalantion is not even needed, because you can deduce it from the name of the configuration variable. Cheers.

And here that is (note that if you don't apply the flags fix I showed, then doc-diff gets confused, because it expects back-to-back runs of "make" to handle the changed flags correctly). Feel free to add it to your series if it helps (I had originally thought it would just be a one-off to look at the output, but there are enough changes, both correctness and style, that it may be useful to have this option around). -- >8 -- Subject: [PATCH] doc-diff: support --asciidoctor-direct mode The new option enables both asciidoctor as well as its direct-to-manpage mode that skips xmlto. This lets you view the rendered difference between the two pipelines with something like: ./doc-diff --from-asciidoctor --to-asciidoctor-direct HEAD HEAD Note that we have to add quotes when passing around $makemanflags, as it now may contain whitespace due to multiple arguments (but the deference inside render_tree must remain unquoted, because it wants to perform whitespace splitting to get the individual arguments back).

Adding in the "\e" to the extensions string fixes many problems. Just skimming over the remaining changes (from asciidoctor+xmlto to asciidoctor direct), here are some things I see: Both of the xmlto pipelines seem to insert extra space before a literal. The direct version fixes that. E.g.: - Files to add content from. Fileglobs (e.g. *.c) can be given to [...] + Files to add content from. Fileglobs (e.g. *.c) can be given to add So that's good. But what you can't see in the doc-diff rendered version is that we've lost the bolding on literals (this is from the <pathspec> option in git-add.1). Another is that the direct version is less willing to break linkgit targets across lines: - explained for the configuration variable core.quotePath (see git- - config(1)). See also --pathspec-file-nul and global + explained for the configuration variable core.quotePath (see + git-config(1)). See also --pathspec-file-nul and global That seems fine to me, though it unfortunately does make the diff quite noisy. We seem to have a problem with some escape codes. E.g.: - of nothing). The other file, git-add--interactive.perl, has 403 - lines added and 35 lines deleted if you commit what is in the - index, but working tree file has further modifications (one + of nothing).

The trailer misses the version field: -Git omitted 1970-01-01 GIT-ADD(1) +Git 1970-01-01 GIT-ADD(1) The "omitted" is part of doc-diff's attempt to reduce noise in the diff. But you can see that it's missing entirely in the direct version. There are lots of whitespace changes for lists. They mostly seem fine either way. It also formats numbered lists differently: - 1.

I prefer the original, but could live with the latter (IIRC, this is something that can be configured via asciidoctor, but I didn't dig). This one is quite curious (from gitworkflows(7)): - Example 1. Merge upwards + Rule: Merge upwards The source looks like this: .Merge upwards [caption="Rule: "] So it looks like it takes the caption, rather than the phrase "example" that I guess is coming from deep within the bowls of docbook. Both asciidoc and asciidoctor produce the "Example" text when going through xmlto, but both produce "Rule" when generating HTML. So I imagine the latter was the intent, and this is a fix. Links are a bit harder to read. E.g.: SEE ALSO git-check-ref-format(1), git-fetch(1), git-remote(1), “Understanding - history: What is a branch?”[1] in the Git User’s Manual. + history: What is <user-manual.html#what-is-a-branch> a branch?”" in the + Git User’s Manual. There may be more lurking, but it's hard to tell given how noisy the diff is. -Peff

But you can see that it's missing entirely in the direct version. This is indeed a limitation of asciidoctor: manversion is ignored. I have a fix for that.

ASCIIDOC_EXTRA += -aplus='+' ASCIIDOC_EXTRA += -alitdd='\--' seems to have done the trick for me at one point, but Todd had some concerns [1] that it interacted badly with the html build, so we might need to use a less aggressive choice of makefile variable to only affect the direct manpage generation.

I don't see a point of complicating the Makefile more if we are already passing `-r ourstuff.rb`. One advantage of Ruby is that everything can be overriden, so we can override the initialization of the Document object: module Asciidoctor class Document alias old_initialize initialize def initialize(data = nil, options = {}) attributes = options[:attributes] case attributes['backend'] when 'manpage' attributes['litdd'] = '\--' attributes['plus'] = '+' when 'xhtml5' attributes['litdd'] = '--' end old_initialize(data, options) end end end This does the trick for me for both backends, and it simplifies the Makefile. However, it's a hack for what seems to be a bug in asciidoctor. I'll report the issue. Cheers.

My general policy, which need not be Git's policy (but I think is reasonable), is that I will support the previous version of Debian and Ubuntu LTS for a year after the new one comes out. Under that policy, we'd wait until a year after Debian 11 (bullseye) is released. > > diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile > > index 93664d6714..cb75dec314 100644 > > --- a/Makefile > > +++ b/Makefile > > @@ -285,6 +285,9 @@ all:: > > # Define USE_ASCIIDOCTOR to use Asciidoctor instead of AsciiDoc to build the > > # documentation. > > # > > +# Define USE_ASCIIDOCTOR_MANPAGE to use Asciidoctor's manual page backend > > +# instead of building manual pages from DocBook. > > +# > The wording should be "...instead of building manual pages from DocBook with > xmlto". I can make that change. We're not using DocBook either way, with xmlto or other tooling (e.g., a plain xsltproc), so what we have here is accurate.

Debian stable is not ancient. It is less than two years old, which for a Linux distro or any operating system distribution, is not at all considered even reasonably old. I am not going to propose or give my approval to a change that causes problems building Git with the distro packages on Debian stable or the latest Ubuntu LTS, in any way, shape, or form.

The \e would insert an additional escape character and shouldn't be needed unless we're in copy mode (which we should not be here).

It does not, any more than ASCIIDOCTOR_EXTENSIONS_LAB implies that. I will update the documentation.

Under that policy, > we'd wait until a year after Debian 11 (bullseye) is released. Under that policy the supported version would be Debian 10 (buster), which ships with Ruby 2.5. It's more than capable of running asciidoctor. The CI of asciidoctor tests versionof Ruby as old as 2.3, so Debian 10 is safe. In fact, I would bet you that asciidoctor works fine in Ruby 2.1 shipped with Debian 8 (jessie) released in 2015. Maybe users of Debian 7 would have trouble... *maybe*...

Hmm... cat Documentation/manpage.xsl <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/manpages/docbook.xsl" /> That's a deliverable of the DocBook project, is it not?

I happen to have accesss to an Ubuntu 18.04 machine... time gem install --user-install asciidoctor real 0m3.179s It took me 3 seconds to get asciidoctor-2.0.15. Ubuntu 18.04 ships with ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029).

I guess your definition of what's "old" and mine are *very* different. But the problem doesn't come from when the distribution was released, but when the packages *inside* the distribution were released. > I am not going to propose or give my approval to a change that causes > problems building Git with the distro packages on Debian stable or the > latest Ubuntu LTS, in any way, shape, or form.

Good. Send it as a *separate* patch. Most people in the mailing list are trying to **minimize** the diff between asciidoc+docbook and asciidoctor, not piggyback improvements. If you want to flex your troff knowledge do it as a separate patch, without my authorship, or s-o-b line. > > 3.

I fail to see how that could work since asciidoctor replaces '\' with '\(rs'. This is a simple test that reproduces the issue: ruby -r asciidoctor <<\EOF | groff -Tascii -man | less puts Asciidoctor.convert("This is a \\fBtest\\fR.", backend: :manpage) EOF Those that work in your machine? This happens both with v2.0.12 and the latest master (2.0.16.dev). Cheers.

I just went ahead to check that, and from the very first commit [1] asciidoctor generated quotes compatible with groff: git filter\-branch \-\-tree\-filter \(aqrm filename\(aq HEAD So it has *always* worked. You can see it from the code: gsub('\'', '\\(aq'). # apostrophe-quote In fact, they never changed that, so it should fail in Solaris, or anything that doesn't use groff. I've sent them a fix [2]. What are these "newever versions" that do the right thing in all cases?
