Hello, I am developing a program which takes the output of the dpkg command for all software packages on one's system, and produces an HTML report of that dpkg output which is alphabetically indexed, and has all web links, and email addresses converted to clickable links. There are a few additional features of this program which I will not go into here. This program needs to convert the textually represented list structures that exist within the Description section of the dpkg output into HTML list representations. I have it working quite well now except in the case of your libmockobjects-java-doc package's output. In the Description section of your dpkg output, the textual representation of your list structure has a continued line within it which is not indented four spaces like everyone else's textual list structures are indented where continued lines are being represented. Instead that particular line continuation is only indented two spaces. This makes it impossible to tell that it is a continuation of the list item on the line before it. This causes my program to incorrectly output the HTML representation of your package's dpkg output in my software report. There is no way to work around it, as it is impossible without the 4 space indentations of the continued list item lines to determine whether that line is a continuation of the previous list item, or the beginning of other Description section lines beyond the end of the list structure. I wonder if I could prevail upon you to please correct the situation by making a change in your dpkg output to add the proper indentation to your textual list representation? Here is the your list representation from the dpkg output for your libmockobjects-java-doc software package. * A methodology for developing and using mock objects. * A core mock object framework. This is a library of code that supports the implementation of mock objects, based around a set of expectation classes for values and collections. There are also various other classes to make mock objects easier to write or to use. * A default set of mock implementations for the standard Java platform APIs. We have made a start on packages such as servlets, sql, and io. As you can see, the line "a file and evaluated with the embedded Scheme interpretor, awesome!" is only indented two spaces where is should be indented four spaces. It should appear as the following textual list representation does. * A methodology for developing and using mock objects. * A core mock object framework.

I would be very grateful.
