Package: dpkg Version: 1.19.0.5+b1 Severity: minor Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? Warnings from "groff": <dpkg-trigger.1>:44 (macro BR): only 1 argument, but more are expected <dpkg-trigger.1>:62 (macro BR): only 1 argument, but more are expected <dpkg-trigger.1>:68 (macro BR): only 1 argument, but more are expected <dpkg-trigger.1>:75 (macro BR): only 1 argument, but more are expected <dpkg-trigger.1>:79 (macro BR): only 1 argument, but more are expected Output is from: test-groff -b -e -mandoc -T utf8 -rF0 -t -w w -z ["test-groff" is a developmental version of "groff"] #### Summary: Change ".BR <one argument>" to ".B <one argument>" Protect ellipis on both sides, "\&...\&" Know the difference between "abc..." and "abc ...". See a manual of style. Use macros instead of font escapes "\f..." Begin each sentence on a new line ### Details: Test nr. 8: Protect a full stop (.) with "\&", if it has a blank (white-space) in front of or (ignoring characters transparent to it) after it, and it does not mean an end of a sentence. 25:.RI [ option "...] " trigger-name 28:.RI [ option "...] " command ##### NOT APPLIED Test nr. 9: Define a string "el" for an ellipsis, to avoid problems with the full stops (can act as a control character or indicate the end of a sentence). Simplifies changes around this string (character) .ds el \&.\^.\^.\&\" or .ds el \&.\|.\|.\&\" 25:.RI [ option "...] " trigger-name 28:.RI [ option "...] " command ##### Test nr. 10: Separate an ellipsis from the preceding string with a space character, if it does not mean a continuation of it. See a manual of style about the difference between "abc..." and "abc ...". 25:.RI [ option "...] " trigger-name 28:.RI [ option "...] " command ##### Test nr. 16: Use the correct macro for the font change of one argument.

The macros have the italic corrections, but "\c" removes them or add the italic corrections.

See man-pages(7) [package "manpages"] and "info groff". Or 2) Adjust space between sentences (two spaces), 3) or protect the indicator by adding "\&" after it.
