Re: [Po4a-devel]Some patches for the Man module
Just to inform you of what I commited so far:

committed, even if I had some remarks against them (they are still to do).
+ comments
It recognize some (probably incorrect, but usual) comment lines.
commited.
+ nested_fonts
It deals with the nested font issue.
I have an idea on how to simplify it a lot, but I think it could be
applied, because it is doing a good job.
not commited. I really don't like this one as is, sorry.
+ arg_next_line
It allows arguments to be provided on the next line for some macros
(.SH, .I, ..., .BR, ...)
not commited since it depends on the previous one, and since it still needs
some cleanup, as you said.
+ dot_lines
po4a generated some lines starting with a dot. In those cases, a \&
should be added to allow the line to be displayed. (for exemple:
.I ../file
is displayed in groff, but
\fI../fil/\fR won't be displayed
It also fix the same issue for lines starting by a "'"
not commited.
What about the code factorisation I spoke about yesterday? Note that it's a
minor remark, not a veto.
+ hyphen
I had a obligation to fix this because I said Martin that replacing
hyphens by minus signs were always allowed.
In fact, it should not be modified in
- .so/.mso arguments
- after a \s (font size modifier, e.g. \s-2)
I also added a comment on why I *hate* hyphens.
Committed, with the changes I advocated, plus the handling of the mso macro
here, which were missing from your patch (yeah, I added 3 letters to your
patch ;)
+ new_macros
Some new macros:
.R
.EX and .EE
.so and .mso
.cs
minimal support (when no argument is given) for:
.ce
.ul
.cu
This one wasn't in tarball.
+ escape
It tries to deal with the \c escape.
It still need some work.
not commited. I'm not convinced here. Missing documentation?
+ others
some other minor points that I could isolate from my working directory
Took the wrapping resetting on .SH, but not the others changes, for the
reasons I told you.
+ split_args
This fix an issue for the limits.conf man page.
It was also reported in #268904
It adds one string for the translation.
This one gives me headaches since a while, commited. :)
Thanks for your time, and have a nice week-end (I'm offline on weekends).
