Global changes
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The POSIX.1 man pages (sections 0p, 1p, 3p) have been moved out
|
|
of this package into the separate man-pages-posix package.
|
|
This made sense because those pages are seldom changed (only formatting
|
|
fixes, etc.) so that it was unnecessary to redistribute them with each
|
|
man-pages release.

|
|
s/`/\`/ for backquotes used in command substitution, for
|
|
proper rendering in UTF-8.
|
|
|
|
Various pages
|
|
mtk, after a note from Stuart Brady
|
|
Using /'x'/ to denote a character (string) renders poorly in
|
|
UTF-8, where the two ' characters render as closing single
|
|
quotes. On the other hand, using /`x'/ renders nicely on UTF-8,
|
|
where proper opening and closing single quotes are produced by
|
|
groff(1), but looks ugly when rendered in ASCII. Using the
|
|
sequence /\\aqx\\aq/ produces a reasonable rendering ('\\aq'
|
|
is a vertical "apostrophe quote") in both UTF-8 and ASCII.
|
|
So that change is made in a number of pages.

Replace form /`string'/ by /"string"/, since the former renders

|
poorly in ASCII.
