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, but looks
|
|
ugly when rendered in ASCII. Using the sequence /\'x\'/ produces
|
|
a reasonable rendering (a verticle "apostrophe quote") in both UTF-8
|
|
and ASCII. So that change is made in a number of pages.

Varios pages
|
|
mtk
|
|
Replace form /`string'/ by /"string"/, since the former renders
|
|
poorly in ASCII.
