Description Roland Bär 2006-06-08 04:20:59 UTC

The --gen-version options is enabled per default, can't disable. This switch makes then no sense.

When highlighting sources to html outlang, then following additional lines get inserted at the beginning:
<pre><!-- Generator: GNU source-highlight 2.2
by Lorenzo Bettini
http://www.lorenzobettini.it
http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite -->
<pre><tt>

This comes from doctemplate entry /usr/share/source-highlight/

doctemplate
"<!-- Generator: $additional -->
<pre><tt>"
"</tt></pre>
"
end

with 2 newlines and then 2 additional newlines from expansion of $additional.

I rely with my usage on exact lines in body, as in source-code.

It would be reasonable enough, if just the newlines and the trailing newline gets  removed. Otherwise that string is prefectly Ok.

Illustration: In the Bug URL click on the function() name, you see the function  context which starts/stops 4 lines too early.

Well, version 2.2 isn't in portage anymore. Besides, I think you should ask upstream for that.
