[comp.text] Nroff driver tables format

shocking@nswitgould.OZ (Stephen Hocking cc) (09/23/87)

	Sometime ago, I posted a request for information on the above. I was
	swamped with help which was much appreciated, thanks guys and am now
	steaming along OK. Quite a few people offered to send me source to
	the programs that they had written, or had floating about from other
	people, and one person sent it without prompting. To all those
	people who sent requests for help when I got it, I've mailed a copy
	of the program to you. Share & Enjoy. Once again, thanks to all
	those people who helped.

shocking@nswitgould.OZ (Stephen Hocking cc) (10/01/87)

	This message contains the shar file of the the programs to do all this
	stuff. Owing to the constant stream of requests for it after the
	initial burst, and the fact that mailers around the world have been 
	choking on the size of the file when I've tried to send it to
	individuals, I've decided to post it here. Kre & Rich Salz will 
	probably ream my bum for not posting it
	via *.sources, but that's the price of a quick & dirty fix :-).
	Share & Enjoy.

	There are two programs in this package. "table", written by
Bruce Townsend with help from Ian Darwin, prepares an nroff driver
table from a source file. "elbat", written by Matt Crawford and
modified for USG UNIX by Bruce Townsend, is the inverse operation -
it decompiles an nroff driver table, producing a source file.

	The Makefile should not need modification other than to
add new names of terminal drivers, of the form "tabXXX" where
"XXX" is a mnemonic for a terminal, e.g. tab450 for a Diablo 450
in 10-pitch mode. These names are added to the TABFILES definition
in the Makefile. The format for Berkeley tab files is different
and thus this package will not work on Berkely systems without
substantial hacking.

	You may want to change CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc. to your taste
or de-bugging preference.

	To compile the elbat program, type "make elbat".
To de-compile a file, type "elbat /usr/lib/term/tabXXX > tabXXX.c"

	To compile a tabXXX file (say tab450), type "make tab450".
Of course, you need the tab450.c source before you do this.
Do NOT FORGET to include the tabXXX name in the TABFILES definition
in the Makefile first.

	Be VERY CAREFULL with "make install" (try "make -n install
first).

	Read the table.doc file and the term.5 man page for more info.
I have updated the term.5 man page to reflect this program.

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS...
	It is quite possible that some or all of the integers stored
in the tabfile are long, not int. On our machine, long = int = 32 bits,
so I do not know which is appropriate. Read the table.doc file for
more info.

Acknowledgements:
	Ian Darwin tested out the first (very buggy) version of
this utility, and suggested many useful changes, including the
introduction of the Makefile.

	Matt Crawford wrote the elbat program originally for
Berkeley systems.

 *     TABLE - A PROGRAM TO PREPARE NROFF DRIVER TABLES
 *     copyright (c) 1985 by Bruce Townsend and Bell-Northern Research.
 *     Permission hereby granted to use, distribute, modify, or copy
 *     except for profit, providing this disclaimer is included.
 *
 *     The contributions of Ian Darwin (the Makefile, cleaning up the
 *     code, etc) are gratefully acknowledged.
 *
 *     Version 1.2 -
 *        * The program has been substantially modified from version 1.1
 *          The major bug in version 1.1 was that zero-width characters
 *          were not handled properly. This has been fixed.
 *
 *     Please send bug reports to Bruce Townsend (utcs!bnr-vpa!bruce)
 *
 *     Usage:
 *           1) Build a file tabXXX.c, where XXX is some reasonable
 *              acronym for the terminal or printer you want to drive
 *              (peruse existing names to see what's reasonable!).
 *              Make this file by hacking up one of the existing
 *              table entries.
 *           2) If the amount of char data that the structure
 *              references is very large, you may want to redefine
 *              C_SIZE
 *           3) check to see whether <sgtty.h> or <termio.h> should
 *              be #included in the tabXXX.c file. One of these include
 *              files may be necessary to provide settings for t.bset,
 *              t.breset. This is instead of the previous tendency to code
 *              octal magic numbers in these fields.
 *           4) Enter your new table into the Makefile; just add the
 *              name "tabXXX" to the TABFILES definition.
 *           5) Type "make tabXXX" where tabXXX is the same name
 *              you chose before.
 *           6) Locate the tabfile in the proper place (on our system
 *              the directory is /usr/lib/term
 *
 *

	This file contains some documentation for the table program.
This program makes printer and terminal driver tables suitable for
nroff. The development of this program was motivated by the lack of
any other means to prepare custom nroff driver tables, for those
systems which do not have the original source that prepared the driver
tables (usually found in /usr/lib/term).
	The format for the tables imbodied in this program was deduced
from a "term" manual page, and by examining the contents of several
existing tab files. Therefore, this program is not definitive in
any sense, but is intended as a help for those who (like myself) do
not have access to any formal tools that make these tab files.
	Also it is possible that this program will require modification
for systems where the size of an integer is not 32 bits. The system
that this program was developed on is an HP9000 (System III) and the
data sizes are:
		long	32
		int	32
		short	16
		char	 8
As I have not had access to different machines, I do not know whether
certain data in the tab file is of int or long type, since that type
is the same on our machine. I have assumed int type.

If your luck is really bad, I suppose it is possible that the format
of the tab file is different across various implementations.

The format of the tab file is:
Type	Name		Size on HP9000		Description
----	----		--------------		-----------
int	c_size		4 bytes	- The amount of character data in bytes
				that follows the t_stor structure. In fact
				the size of the file in bytes should be:
				c_size + sizeof (c_size) + sizeof (t_stor)
				(On our machine: c_size + 1004)

struct {		1000 bytes - This is the storage for the "t"
	int bset;		structure with one change. All the elements
	int breset;		of the t structure which were pointers to
	int Hor;		strings are now integer indexes to one
	int Vert;		large character array.
	int Newline;
	int Char;
	int Em;
	int Halfline;
	int Adj;
	int twinit;
	int twrest;
	int twnl;
	int hlr;
	int hlf;
	int flr;
	int bdon;
	int bdoff;
	int iton;
	int itoff;
	int ploton;
	int plotoff;
	int up;
	int down;
	int right;
	int left;
	int codetab[256-32];
	int zzz;
} t_stor;

char	array[c_size]	(variable size)- This is the storage for the strings
					pointed to by the indexes.

		How to Use the Table Program
		----------------------------
Examine the "term" manual page which explains the purpose of each of
the items in the "t" structure. Make a copy of the tabXXX.c program
and edit it, replacing XXX with a suitable mnemonic. Initialize the
t structure to the integer or character string values that are necessary
for the terminal or printer in question. You have a high degree of
flexibility here, and variable-width characters, overstrike combinations,
etc are easy to implement.

The only catch here is determining which index of the t.codetab[] array
corresponds to which nroff printable character. This information is not
in the manual page. After some experimentation, I have made a table
which list the characters I know about. The table has some holes in it,
but is as complete as I can make it. If anyone has additions or
corrections, please let me know. The table is found in the file
charlist. Also, the comments in tabXXX.c should help.

WARNING: ALL CHARACTER STRINGS IN THE codetab[] array MUST be at
least two characters in size, not counting the null terminator.
The typical definition for a zero-width string which prints nothing
is "\000\0" and NOT "". THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, because it is
necessary to allow the first byte of these strings to be zero
in the case of zero-width strings that do print something.
E.G. the string "\000^\b" is a zero-width "hat" character.

If the amount of char data is very large, you may need to increase the
definition of C_SIZE in table.c. It is now set at 10000 characters.
The table.c program will burp out a message to this effect if
necessary.

The t.bset and t.breset flags will need definitions from either
<termio.h> or <sgtty.h>. Include whichever is appropriate for your
system in tabXXX.c.

After the tabXXX.c file has been edited, place it in the same
directory as table.c and the Makefile, and compile the table with:
	make tabXXX

This will compile and run a program which will in turn make the
tab file. Move the tabfile to its destination directory (likely
/usr/term/tab).

Run nroff as:
	nroff -TXXX ...
(for example):
	nroff -T630P ...

Debugging is not easy.
You can use the supplied program which takes a tab file (tabXXX) and
makes a source file (tabXXX.c). The program is called elbat (reverse
of table) Do this by:
	elbat tabXXX > tabXXX.c
and compare to your original tabXXX.c
	Do this for tab files that you have already to check that
the format is the same on your system as on mine.


		The Table Program
		-----------------

As mentioned before, this program is not to be considered a
definitive one. It works for HP9000's as far as I can tell.

However, it does have the feature of compressing the supplied
character data as much as possible. If one string is the tail of
another (e.g. the strings abcdef and def), than only the largest
string is stored. The smaller is indexed into the middle of the
larger. Repeated strings (including the null string) are only stored
once.

It should generate a tabfile very close to the size of the distributed
tables. Check by using elbat on a distributed table, compile using
the table utility, and compare the sizes. The character data will
almost certainly be stored in a different order than in the
distributed table, so "cmp -l" will find most bytes different.
However, the nroff results using the two files should be identical.

The program has not been extensively tested. There may be bugs or
misinformation. Let me know of any problems.

If the tab files produced by this program do not work at all on your
system, then it may be that the data types for c_size, and
t_stor.whatever are incorrect. (Long instead of int?) You can get an
indication by looking at the first word (int or long?) of an
existing tab file. This is the amount of char data stored in the
file. Subtract it from the size of the file in bytes. The result
will be the size of the t_stor structure plus the size of the c_size
variable. The t_stor structure has 250 elements in it. If each is
4 bytes, as on our system, and the c_size variable is 4 bytes also,
then the result of the previous subtraction should be 1004. If
the sizeof(int) on your system is 16 bits, then the difference
should be 502. If it is not, then perhaps the types (some or all)
of c_size, and the elements in t_stor should be changed to reflect
this.

			Good luck!

.TH TERM 5
.SH NAME
term \- terminal driving tables for nroff
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IR Nroff (1)
uses driving tables to customize its output for various types of
output devices, such as printing terminals, special word-processing
terminals (such as Diablo, Qume, or NEC Spinwriter mechanisms),
or special output filter programs.  These driving tables are written
as C programs, compiled, and installed in
\f3/usr/lib/term/tab\f2name\fP ,
where
.I name\^
is the name for that terminal type as given in
.IR term (7).
The structure of the tables is as follows:
.PP
.nf
.ta 5m 10m 15m 20m 25m 30m 35m 40m 45m 50m 55m 60m
#define	INCH	240

struct {
	int bset;
	int breset;
	int Hor;
	int Vert;
	int Newline;
	int Char;
	int Em;
	int Halfline;
	int Adj;
	char *twinit;
	char *twrest;
	char *twnl;
	char *hlr;
	char *hlf;
	char *flr;
	char *bdon;

	char *right;
	char *left;
	char *codetab[256\-32];
	char *zzz;
} t;
.fi
.DT
.PP
The meanings of the various fields are as follows:
.TP 10
.I bset\^
bits to set in the
.I c_oflag\^
field of the
.I termio\^
structure (see
.IR tty (4))
before output.
.TP 10
.I breset\^
bits to reset in the
.I c_oflag\^
field of the
.I termio\^
structure
before output.
.TP 10
.I Hor\^
horizontal resolution in fractions of an inch.
.TP 10
.I Vert\^
vertical resolution in fractions of an inch.
.TP 10
.I Newline\^
space moved by a newline (linefeed) character in fractions
of an inch.
.TP 10
.I Char\^
quantum of character sizes, in fractions of an inch.
(i.e., a character is a multiple of Char units wide)
.TP 10
.I Em\^
size of an em in fractions of an inch.
.TP 10
.I Halfline\^
space moved by a half-linefeed (or half-reverse-linefeed)
character in fractions of an inch.
.TP 10
.I Adj\^
quantum of white space, in fractions of an inch.
(i.e., white spaces are a multiple of Adj units wide)
.IP
Note: if this is less than the size of the space
character (in units of Char; see below for how the
sizes of characters are defined),
.I nroff\^
will output
fractional spaces using plot mode.  Also, if the
.B \-e
switch to
.I nroff\^
is used, Adj is set equal to Hor by
.IR nroff .
.TP 10
.I twinit\^
set of characters used to initialize the terminal
in a mode suitable for
.IR nroff .
.TP 10
.I twrest\^
set of characters used to restore the terminal to
normal mode.
.TP 10
.I twnl\^
set of characters used to move down one line.
.TP 10
.I hlr\^
set of characters used to move up one-half line.
.TP 10
.I hlf\^
set of characters used to move down one-half line.
.TP 10
.I flr\^
set of characters used to move up one line.
.TP 10
.I bdon\^
set of characters used to turn on hardware boldface mode,
if any.
.I Nroff\^
assumes that boldface mode is reset automatically by the
.I twnl\^
string, because many letter-quality printers reset the boldface
mode when they receive a carriage return;
the
.I twnl\^
string should include whatever characters are necessary to
reset the boldface mode.
.TP 10
.I bdoff\^
set of characters used to turn off hardware boldface mode,
if any.
.TP 10
.I iton\^
set of characters used to turn on hardware italics mode,
if any.
.TP 10
.I itoff\^
set of characters used to turn off hardware italics mode,
if any.
.TP 10
.I ploton\^
set of characters used to turn on hardware plot mode
(for Diablo type mechanisms), if any.
.TP 10
.I plotoff\^
set of characters used to turn off hardware plot mode
(for Diablo type mechanisms), if any.
.TP 10
.I up\^
set of characters used to move up one resolution unit
(Vert) in plot mode, if any.
.TP 10
.I down\^
set of characters used to move down one resolution unit
(Vert) in plot mode, if any.
.TP 10
.I right\^
set of characters used to move right one resolution unit
(Hor) in plot mode, if any.
.TP 10
.I left\^
set of characters used to move left one resolution unit
(Hor) in plot mode, if any.
.TP 10
.I codetab\^
definition of characters needed to print an
.I nroff\^
character
on the terminal.
The first byte is the number of character units (Char) needed to hold the
character; i.e., ``\\001'' is one unit wide, ``\\002'' is two
units wide, etc.  The high-order bit (0200) is on if
the character is to be underlined in underline mode
(.ul).
The rest of the bytes are the characters used to produce the character in
question.  If the character has the sign (0200) bit on,
it is a code to move the terminal in plot mode.  It is
encoded as:
.RS
.IP "0100 bit on" 15
vertical motion.
.IP "0100 bit off" 15
horizontal motion.
.IP "040 bit on" 15
negative (up or left) motion.
.IP "040 bit off" 15
positive (down or right) motion.
.IP "037 bits" 15
number of such motions to make.
.RE
.TP 10
.I zzz\^
a zero terminator at the end.
.PP
All quantities which are in units of fractions of an inch should
be expressed as
.RI INCH* num / denom ,
where
.I num\^
and
.I denom\^
are respectively the numerator and denominator of the fraction; i.e.,
1/48 of an inch would be written as ``INCH/48''.
.PP
If any sequence of characters does not pertain to the output device,
that sequence should be given as a null string.
.PP
If you have source license:
.br
The source code for the terminal
.I name\^
is in
.BI /usr/src/cmd/text/roff.d/terms.d/tab name .c.
When a new terminal type is added, the file
.I maketerms.c\^
should be updated to `#include' the source to that driving table;
note that the various terminal types are grouped into ``parts'' labelled
.BR PART1 ,
.BR PART2 ,
and
.BR PART3 .
If necessary, more parts can be added.  Other changes necessary to
.I maketerms.c\^
are left as an exercise to the reader.
The makefile
.I terms.mk\^
in that directory should then be updated.
.PP
If you do not have source license, but have Bruce Townsend's
.I table\^
utility:
.br
The source code for the terminal
.I name\^
is in a file called
.BI tab name .c.
When a new terminal type is added, the file
.I Makefile\^
in the same directory should be updated.
Just add the name
.BI tab name
to the definition of
.BR TABFILES .
Then type
.BI "make tab" name.
Store the result in
.B /usr/lib/term.

Until we got our latest release of HP-UX (5.21) I was nroffing merrily with
a nroff table I wrote myself for the Laserjet+ emulating closely what I
would have got had I only had troff.  The HP-UX table was (almost) identical
to all other 7-bit tables published in many places (e.g. in "troff TYPESETTING
FOR UNIX(TM) SYSTEMS", Appendix C, by S.L Emerson and K. Paulsell,
Prentice-Hall, 1987, ISBN 0-13-930959-4 025).  Now, with the new release,
HP has (finally!) introduced 8 bit nroff making it possible to typeset
in other languages than English (e.g. Swedish, which has three more vowels
than English ...) the nroff table format has changed.  nroff -Tlas, where
my old tablas table should be used gives error messages "Floating exceptions"
and then bombs out. 

Is there anoone out there who knows how the new 8 bit tables should be written.
I would appreciate answer through any means (Ordinary mail, e-mail, here ...)

	As author of the "table" utility that compiles nroff driver tables
for USG systems that was distributed to the net some time ago, I have been
made aware of the problem that HP-UX (5.2) introduces.  I received a
message from someone at HP who is responsible for maintaining nroff, and
he revealed that difference in the new format is merely the inclusion
of a new integer element in the structures t and t_stor, called Kchar.
It is inserted immediately following the Char element, and apparently
refers to the width of Kanji characters.  As I do not yet have this
HP-UX release, I am unable to test this, but I hope to within a week or
two.  For those of you who can't wait, and want to hack the table program,
try simply modifying the structures to include this new element.
Also, anywhere there appears a "Char" in table.c, elbat.c, or term.h,
copy that line and substitute Kchar for Char.  Good luck.
Apparently, the value of t.Kchar is generally twice that of t.Char, but
I do not yet know how that is used.

	Coincidently, I was in the process of preparing a new version
of the table utility (version 2.0), and I will send it to
comp.sources.unix when it is ready.  It will include provision for
this new format for those systems that use it (is HP-UX the only one?).

	The new version fixes a few problems with both table and elbat,
provides a much better Makefile, and a proper man page.  I have more
closely examined the driver table format, at least those that are
supplied with my machine, and have rewritten table.c so that the
operation: elbat tabfile > tabfile.c (de-compile) ; table tabfile.c
(compile) is an identity operation (at least on my machine for the
tabfiles supplied with HP-UX).  The previous version (1.2) re-compiled
the tabfiles into a different (but I thought equivalent) form;  it
may be that systems that encountered problems with the use of tabfiles
prepared by table may benefit from the new version.
