Description Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-14 06:00:12 UTC
Two lines in ebuild.5 begin with '. This makes the text lines to control lines and so the lines are not printed.

These ' can be replaced by \(cq

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-01-14 06:13:27 UTC
fixed, thanks
Comment 2 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-14 16:31:16 UTC
wrong fix -- look at the output.
unfortunately escaping doesn't work this way.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-01-14 16:37:51 UTC
i did look at the output and it rendered fine :P
                            *  means  match any version of the package so long
                            as the specified base is matched.  So with a  ver-
                            sion  of '2*', we can match '2.1', '2.2', '2.2.1',
                            etc... and not match version '1.0', '3.0',  '4.1',
                            etc...

       emake [make options]
              This  is  used  as  a  replacement  for  make.   Performs  'make
              ${MAKEOPTS} make options' (as set in /etc/make.globals), default
              is MAKEOPTS="-j2".
Comment 4 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-14 16:54:01 UTC
Here is mine:

...can match '2.1', '2.2', 
Comment 5 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-14 16:54:01 UTC
Here is mine:

...can match '2.1', '2.2', ´2.2.1', et...
...rforms   ´make ${MAKEOPTS}  make options' ....

man 7 groff:
       \'     The  acute  accent ´; same as \(aa.  Unescaped: apostrophe, right
              quotation mark, single quote (ASCII 0x27).
       \`     The grave accent `; same as \(ga.  Unescaped: left  quote,  back-
              quote (ASCII 0x60).


It looks best here with \(cq -- or if you don't want do fight this out move the line-break ;)
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-01-14 17:00:13 UTC
does it still look like that if you do `man -c ./ebuild.5` ?
Comment 7 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-14 17:07:59 UTC
Yes, it does.
Comment 8 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-01-14 17:14:53 UTC
if you have a leading space, does that resolve this ?

as you may have noticed, i wish to avoid escape sequences :)
Comment 9 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-14 17:31:03 UTC
line-break and leading space:

| can match '2.1', '2.2',
|  '2.2.1', etc...  and  not  match  version  '1.0',  '3.0',
| '4.1', etc...

and

| This is used as a replacement for make.  Performs
|  'make  ${MAKEOPTS} make options' (as set in /etc/make.globals), default
| is MAKEOPTS="-j2".



We can avoid it with:
| base is matched.  So with a version of '2*', we can match '2.1', '2.2', '2.2.1',
| etc... and not match version '1.0', '3.0', '4.1', etc...

and

| This is used as a replacement for make.  Performs 'make
| ${MAKEOPTS} \fImake options\fR' (as set in /etc/make.globals),
| default is MAKEOPTS="\-j2".
