Subject: A minor problem in FAQ03.html due to a yodl bug
Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2022 16:05:51 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <A296BBBD-41A8-4895-B444-06F43443C4B5@kba.biglobe.ne.jp> (raw)
I've noticed Zsh FAQ on sourceforge has a minor problem:
https://zsh.sourceforge.io/FAQ/zshfaq03.html#l19
Other way of causing word splitting include a judicious use of `eval':
sentence="Longtemps, je me suis couch\+NOTRANS(é) de bonne heure."
It seems this is due to a bug of (some versions of) yodl.
yodl-3.05.00 has this problem, but version 4.04.02 ((Ubuntu 22.04)
correctly outputs "couch\\'e". I don't know when this bug was
introduced and when it has been fixed.
A workaround is to replace either \ or ' by CHAR().
Do I need to push this patch?
Or is it enough to use the latest versions of yodl?
