Package: units
Version: 1.87-1
Severity: minor
Flicking through the manpage for units, I found the following glitches.
These may be in the orignal package, so feel free to forward to Adrian Mariano.
In the "UNIT EXPRESSIONS" section, there are two examples of "@samp{ .... }",
I assume these are ntroff commands leaking through.
In the "DEFINING NEW UNITS" section, the man page reads
"the backslash character (‘´) acts..".
However the backslash character has been eaten by ntroff.
In the "INVOKING ‘UNITS’" section, there a few long-name only parameters that
are preceeded with a comma.
In the "UNIT DEFINITIONS" section, where the man page indicates that a trailing
's' or 'es' is removed to check for a valid unit-name, it should also mention
that 'ies' is replaced with 'y' e.g. 'centuries' is replaced with 'century'.
