---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0005243) geoffclare (manager) - 2021-02-17 10:07 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1454#c5243 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I agree that we should add /* Apply rule 4 */ to that line in the grammar. Or something technically equivalent - there would be an editorial problem with simply adding it (and removing redundant spaces) because: Case WORD linebreak in linebreak Esac /* Apply rule 4 */ is two characters too long to fit on the line. Perhaps we could change all occurrences of "Apply rule X" to just "Rule X"? The comments only need to make clear which rule it is that applies; it is the wording in 2.10.1 about those comments that specifies how the indicated rules are applied. (The comment that says "Do not apply rule 4" would stay as-is.)
