Dear Engelbert, dear Docutils developers, with man pages usually presented on a terminal, it is no surprise that the "manpage" writer does not support images. However, the current behavior around this limitation may, IMO, be iproved. If the image has an "alt" attribute, use its value *instead of* the filename. Example:: text .. image:: gibsnich.png :alt: an image of something more text With ``rst2man foo.rst > foo.roff`` I get a :: (WARNING/2) "image" not supported and `man ./foo.roff` shows:: () () Name - text [image: an image of something/gibsnich.png] more text I would prefer an (INFO/1) instead of a warning and :: () () Name text an image of something more text For images without an :alt: attribute, the warning should be kept but amended with something in the line of (WARNING/2) "image" not supported by "manpage" writer. Please provide an "alt" attribute with textual replacement. Thanks, Günter |

fair enough 1. change waring to info 2. reformat 3. what if there is no alt-text ? if the image-filename is not in output, no one knows there could be something this could be a feature or annoying cheers On Fri, 18 Oct 2024 at 00:32, Guenter Milde via Docutils-develop < doc...@li...> wrote: > Dear Engelbert, dear Docutils developers, > > with man pages usually presented on a terminal, it is no surprise that > the "manpage" writer does not support images.
