Regression in printing tables between 0.7.9 and master about lowdown

[kristapsdz]

Great find! In the first example (with old lowdown), it's just luck that it works: blank lines in the output are the reason I re-wrote the serialisation algorithm to be two-pass. And as you can see, this is mostly due to links.

The referenced patch fixes this. Tested in a variety of situations with embedded links, links in styles, etc.

If you can confirm this fix, please close the issue. Thank you for reporting!

The -Tman output now looks fine, but the -Tms output is quite broken still... Do you want to repurpose this issue for that?

Thanks for the quick fix!

Edit: I accidentally typed inside the code block.

I can't replicate this. What are the exact commands you're using, and what version of groff? (Thanks for keeping at this!)

[ericonr]

You'll see an edit above, I had accidentally typed a bit inside the code block.

I'm running ./lowdown -s -Tms mirrors.md |mandoc, with mandoc 1.14.5.

[kristapsdz]

That's the problem---mandoc doesn't accept ms macros, only man.

Ok, sorry for the confusion. Should be all good now, thank you very much :)
