Follow-up Comment #1, bug #59443 (project groff):
I somewhat disagree with Bjarni's analysis.
tbl itself can issue diagnostics, and it can produce roff language constructs
that _may_ cause the production of diagnostics
Whether the latter category of diagnostics actually issues depends on
conditions at the time the document is formatted.
Therefore, I think the current arrangement, where in the document basically
"complains about itself", is more correct than the alternative Bjarni
proposes.
However, I do note that of the messages Bjarni proposes to patch, only one is
missing the word "table" in the text of the actual message part. I think it
would be helpful to mention tables there, too, somewhat like the following.
prints(".tmc \\n[.F]: around line \\n[.c]: warning:\n"
prints(".tmc \\n[.F]: around line \\n[.c]: warning:\n"
- ".tm1 \" column separation set to zero\n"
+ ".tm1 \" table column separation set to zero\n"
".nr " SEPARATION_FACTOR_REG " 0\n");
I'll work on this, as a welcome break from the 100+ man page fix-up commits I
have pending.
