- wrong number of layout columns in tbl(7) code generated by -T man |
|
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57720 |
|
The reason likely is that tbl(7) does not support the -Bl -column |
|
feature of not explicitly specifying the last table column. |

- roff.c, roff_expand() should not remove blanks before comments |
|
to Oliver Corff, Sep 7, 2021 |
|
loc * exist * algo * size * imp * |
|
but watch out for regressions in the high-level parsers |
|
maybe it should not even remove comments? - consider T{\" |
|
|
|
- In the body of conditional requests, escape sequence expansion |
|
must not be performed if the condition is false. This implies |
|
the first part of a request line must be expanded before |
|
request parsing (like it is now), but expansion in the second |
|
part must be delayed. |
