armscii-8.7
Marko Myllynen
Charset pages unification, minor cleanups
ascii.7
Marko Myllynen
Charset pages unification, minor cleanups
This and [the related *.7] patches will provide unification of
charset pages, minor cleanups, and some unifying cosmetic
changes. References are adjusted so that all pages include
a reference to charsets(7), which contains a description of
these sets, stray comments are removed, some obsolete
statements (like ISO 8859-1 being the de-facto ASCII
replacement) are removed, and some minor reformatting
to minimize diff's between the pages are done.
The actual substance, the character tables, remain unchanged.
This series changes the following pages (under man7): ascii,
armscii, cp1251, koi8-r, koi8-u, and all of iso_8859-*.
