Hi Stijn,
Excellent, thanks a lot!
BTW, I am not quite sure if, from \tt{stuff} one should generate .EX ; we
currently generate "\fC stuff \fP" which is wrong. I haven't found a good
solution for this one yet. (Generating .EX / .EE from verbatim{stuff} indeed
sounds good to me.)
(To have your response appear at https://bugs.debian.org/1076648 , you can mail
to 1076...@bugs.debian.org ; I just resent your response below to that
address.)
Bye,
Joost
