[mrtg] Bug? </TD></TR> without a space at the beginning

[Jakub M]

Hi,

a small change in a template did the things work as for now:

PageTop[$target_name]: <H1>$router_name Ping</H1>
  <TABLE>
    <TR><TD>System:</TD><TD>$router_name in
$html_syslocation</TD></TR>
    <TR><TD>Maintainer:</TD><TD>$html_syscontact</TD></TR>
    <TR><TD VALIGN="top">Description:</TD><TD>$html_sysdescr</TD></TR>
  </TABLE>

PageTop[$target_name]: <H1>$router_name Ping</H1>
  <TABLE>
    <TR><TD>System:</TD><TD>$router_name in
$html_syslocation</TD></TR>
    <TR><TD>Maintainer:</TD><TD>$html_syscontact</TD></TR>
    <TR><TD VALIGN="top">Description:</TD><TD>$html_sysdescr
    </TD></TR>
  </TABLE>
