Package: debianutils

Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

here are a few notes and a patch for the man page.

####

The difference between the formatted outputs can be seen with:

  nroff -man <file1> > <out1>
  nroff -man <file2> > <out2>
  diff -u <out1> <out2>

and for groff using

"groff -man -Z" instead of "nroff -man"

#####

Use the correct macro for the font change of a single argument or
split the argument into two.

24:.IR /etc/shells

#####

Output from "test-nroff -man -b -ww -z":


[ "test-groff" is a developmental version of "groff" ]

Input file is ./add-shell.8

  Not in the patch:

an.tmac:<standard input>:1: style: .TH missing fourth argument; suggest 
package/project name and version (e.g., "debianutils ...")

  In the patch: 
an.tmac:<standard input>:24: style: .IR expects at least 2 arguments, got 1
