There's no controlling style guide for *roff citations. (There are _many_ candidates that could be selected; I gather Peter Schaffter chose MLA for mom(7).) The practice in groff documentation is in fact to _not_ honor the rule you cite, following the same principle that motivates "logical" quotation style. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/logical_quotation I'm not wedded to the change I proposed, but if we're going to reject it in favor of a style guide's directives regarding source citation, we should identify one that is sufficiently detailed to address the cases we need to handle, conform to it, and document the style in use. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61028> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
