blkzone: (man) reduce two overblown tables to legible proportions
Before version 2.37, before asciidoctor was used, the first three lines
of the first table looked like this:
start Zone start sector
len Zone length in number of sectors
wptr Zone write pointer position
After the move to asciidoctor, the first three lines of the first table
in the generated man page looked like this:
┌────────┬────────────────────────────┐
│ │ │
│start │ Zone start sector │
├────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ │ │
│len │ Zone length in number of │
│ │ sectors │
├────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ │ │
│wptr │ Zone write pointer │
│ │ position │
├────────┼────────────────────────────┤
Three to four screen lines for just one line of information!
Reduce the tables to sane proportions again by simply using blocks
of preformatted text.
(The substition of xN for x? is needed because somehow the ? in the
indented text is a special character in groff.)
