Hello,
Note that I'm not on this particular list, so please CC me any responses...
I've found (by way of schwa...@openbsd, by way of j...@openbsd) that
groff's behaviour regarding \*(Ba has changed mysteriously since 1.15.
Example:
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fl a \*(Ba
.Pp
.Fl \*(Ba
Old (1.15) groff:
DESCRIPTION
-a |
|
New (>=1.18.1 and probably before) groff:
DESCRIPTION
-a |
- |
Which behaviour is correct? Neither seems so to me: for the former, it
makes sense that only the literal bar should delimit; for the latter, no
other special character (I tested them all) has an interim space.
Should it not be "-a -|", then "-|"?
Thank you,
Kristaps
