Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Version: 1:1.2.0~git20070819-3
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
While fixing typos in the evdev manpage (before noticing that these
were already fixed in the latest unstable), I discovered a few other
things that could be cleaned up:
- 1_ascii.diff: ; use \- (ASCII dash) instead of - (hyphen) where
appropriate; use roff character escapes, not UTF-8.
- 2_quotes.diff: consistent use of quote marks
- 3_typefaces.diff: consistent use of bold and italic; avoid
most use of as substitutes for italic; use in/i instead of
iinteger/i or inumber/i.

Patch 1 of 3: use \- (ASCII dash) instead of - (hyphen), where
appropriate; use a roff escape instead of a UTF-8 character.
