Hi,
attached is a small patch to set the comments right in the tex2lyx manpage.
With this patch applied there are only two warnings waiting to be fixed.
$ LANG=C man --warnings -l tex2lyx.1 >/dev/null
<standard input>:43: warning: `Tr' not defined
<standard input>:584: warning: `IX' not defined
For the first one I've still no idea how exactly this should work so no
good idea on how to fix it either.
The .IX macros seem to be some legacy stuff from SunOS for section 3 manpages.
Citing http://www.linux.com/feature/34212
There are additional macros for some systems. For instance, on
old SunOS systems, there's an IX macro, used something like this:
.IX "mem2sz()" "" "makes sz from mem"
This was used in section 3 man pages to help populate an
index; it doesn't appear to have any effect in current man page
systems. The pod2man utility generates these for section headings.
I'll see if I can replace it with something more appropriate.
Sven
