Dear ed maintainer, the manpage-l10n project maintains a large number of translations of man pages both from a large variety of sources (including ed) as well for a large variety of target languages.
During their work translators notice different possible issues in the original (english) man pages. Sometimes this is a straightforward typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the original. We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss the latest upstream version once in a while, so the error might be already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check each and every issue. Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format, i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man, groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into your source format. Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify them. I'm now reporting the errors for your project. If future reports should use another channel, please let me know. Man page: ed.1 Issue: Missing markup for ed and red "GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create, display, modify " "and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via shell " "scripts. A restricted version of ed, red, can only edit files in the current " "directory and cannot execute shell commands. Ed is the \\&'standard' text " "editor in the sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely " "available. For most purposes, however, it is superseded by full-screen " "editors such as GNU Emacs or GNU Moe." -- Man page: ed.1 Issue: 'H' → B<H> "be verbose; equivalent to the 'H' command" -- Man page: ed.1 Issue 1: 'file' → I<file> Issue 2: '!' → B<!> "Start edit by reading in 'file' if given.
