Follow-up Comment #2, bug #58962 (project groff): [comment #0 original submission:] > I believe the documented behavior is more sensible than the > actual behavior. But that's a judgment call and open to debate.
The Texinfo manual is increasingly subscribing to this view as well. Commit d19a3b98 <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=d19a3b98> (from a week before this bug was filed) says "\ " is "not optimal in most situations." Last week's commit b20ff768 <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=b20ff768> reinforced this, saying "Usually you want one of the following escapes instead" of "\ ", and further clarifying, "often '\~'." _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58962> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
