Patch to fix multi-line macros in the manpage.	none

Description David Martínez Moreno 2005-08-16 08:22:36 UTC

Hello. As reported in Debian bug #323210, some text appears in the manpage that
has no concordance with its surroundings.

In fact, it is due to some change in groff (I guess) that invalidated some macro
in the manpage. There are two macros affected. These macros were used to add
duplicated text, but they are used only once.

Anyway, I fixed the error by escaping the EOLs with \ .

It would be ideal to look the myriad of manpages that could carry .ds statements
and fix them. O:-)

Thanks.

Yeah - when XFree86 converted to using cpp to generate manpages, they pulled out
the \ and broke a whole bunch of these multiline macros.   I fixed the ones in
the Xt man pages earlier this year under bug #2331 / attachment #1718 [details] [review].   Looks
like the same thing here.

Fix committed to HEAD.  Should be included in 6.9RC1 & 7.0RC1.
Thanks for the report/patch.
