Subject: mandoc: .Bl -enum produces ordinal numbers, not cardinal numbers; patch
Date: Mon, 20 May 2024 18:45:04 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6b9ba82eacc32868@mandoc.bsd.lv> (raw)
Log Message:
-----------
.Bl -enum produces ordinal numbers, not cardinal numbers;
patch from Jan Stary <hans at stare dot cz>.
We are both confident that the practical consequences of this
documentation bug are limited since you are not supposed to commit
manual pages containing infinite numbers of list items in the first
place (remember, OpenBSD's not GNU!) - but correctness is a virtue
in documentation nonetheless.
