Follow-up Comment #4, bug #60802 (project groff): Here some older threads discussing .substring semantics.
The behavior was changed back in 2002; these threads discuss an earlier implementation. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2001-10/msg00165.html This one features Werner seeking stable semantics for the request, which I think we should stick to except arguably for the corner case originally raised on the mailing list this year. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2002-07/msg00035.html Here's a discussion from 2014. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2014-11/msg00224.html _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60802> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
