Thank you for spotting and reporting that. I've corrected all of those and added a rule to help avoid any similar formatting errors: Here's the first change: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=bad0510aea5e Here's the ChangeLog entry for the two change sets: 2007-12-31 Jim Meyering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * doc/coreutils.texi (Block size): Put braces around multi-digit exponents. Reported by Darrel Francis. Add a syntax check, so this doesn't recur. Reorganize existing checks. * doc/Makefile.am (sc-exponent-grouping): (syntax_checks): New variable. (sc-avoid-io, sc-avoid-non-zero, sc-avoid-timezone): (sc-avoid-zeroes, sc-use-small-caps-NUL): New rules, extracted from check-texinfo. (check-texinfo): Depend on $(syntax_checks). _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
