Subject: Symbols and troff conditionals
Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2010 18:28:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100609162836.GZ39829@acme.spoerlein.net> (raw)
Hi folks,
some errors while linting manpages:
.Dd June 9, 2010
.Dt TITLE 1
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm test
.Nd test
.Sh SYNOPSIS
foo
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Testing symbols like \(+-\*(Pi or
\(-> fails somehow.
Also, conditionals when used like this
.if n \{\
do
.\}
.if t \{\
do not
.\}
complain.
% mandoc -Tlint test.1
test.1:10:22: bad escape sequence
test.1:11:1: bad escape sequence
test.1:15:1: request scope close w/none open
test.1:18:1: request scope close w/none open
What's up with the \(-> and \(+- symbols?
Also, the end-of-conditional detection seems to need some improvement.
This form is occurring at several places in our manpages ...
Regards,
Uli
