Package: texlive-binaries Version: 2023.20230311.66589-9 Severity: minor Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, here are some notes and editorial fixes for the manual. The patch is in the attachment. -.-. The difference between the formatted outputs can be seen with: nroff -man <file1> > <out1> nroff -man <file2> > <out2> diff -u <out1> <out2> and for groff, using "printf '%s\n%s\n' '.kern 0' '.ss 12 0' | groff -man -Z - " instead of "nroff -man" Add the option "-t", if the file contains a table. Read the output of "diff -u" with "less -R" or similar. -.-. If "man" (man-db) is used to check the manual for warnings, the following must be set: The option "-warnings=w" The environmental variable: export MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes (or any non-empty value) or (produce only warnings): export MANROFFOPT="-ww -z" export MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes (or any non-empty value) -.-.

Change a HYPHEN-MINUS (code 0x2D) to a minus(-dash) (\-), if it is in front of a name for an option, is a symbol for standard input, is a single character used to indicate an option, or is in the NAME section (man-pages(7)).

Find a repeated word ! 87 --> of -.-. Wrong distance between sentences. Separate the sentences and subordinate clauses; each begins on a new line. See man-pages(7) ("Conventions for source file layout") and "info groff" ("Input Conventions"). The best procedure is to always start a new sentence on a new line, at least, if you are typing on a computer. Remember coding: Only one command ("sentence") on each (logical) line. E-mail: Easier to quote exactly the relevant lines. Generally: Easier to edit the sentence. Patches: Less unaffected text. Search for two adjacent words is easier, when they belong to the same line, and the same phrase. The amount of space between sentences in the output can then be controlled with the ".ss" request. 217:for the DVI file comment instead of the date.
