Package: linuxdoc-tools Version: 0.9.21 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hello,
running linuxdoc-tools, I encountered the following warning messages:
Processing file cbm4linux.sgml
gawk: /usr/share/linuxdoc-tools/info.awk:31: warning: escape sequence `\{'
treated as plain `{'
gawk: /usr/share/linuxdoc-tools/info.awk:32: warning: escape sequence `\}'
treated as plain `}'
Note: These messages only occur if gawk is installed; with mawk, they do
not appear.
I am no expert with awk, but from the message, I deduced that the
backslash escape characters in lines 31 and 32 of info.awk are wrong.
The attached mini-patch on info.awk fixes this. Notice that this patch
does not negatively affect using linuxdoc-tools with mawk.
Regards,
Spiro.
