Urk, that could be the culprit. Now to see if we can make it leave macro
definitions alone and only do the following to targets:
=item nicetext (override)
Insure that colons marking targets are preceded by space, in order
to distinguish the target delimiter from a colon appearing as
part of a filespec.
=cut
sub nicetext {
my($self,$text) = @_;
$text =~ s/([^\s:])(:+\s)/$1 $2/gs;
$text;
}
