commit ae0adea18cc27b86caad1a91ecac13b9e06d13e2
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Thu Sep 18 04:23:36 2025 -0500
[man,mdoc]: Fix Savannah #67474 (`.cflags 0 "`).
* tmac/an.tmac:
* tmac/doc.tmac: Man pages more often use the neutral double quote `"`
as a "code literal" than as a quotation character. Give it the same
(empty) set of character flags as its special character equivalent,
\[dq]. This means that it is no longer transparent to sentence
endings.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?67474>. Thanks to Alex Colomar
and Russ Allbery for the discussion.
