Hello, I just tryed to gettextize the find.1 man page. The issue is that the first line reads: .TH FIND 1L \" -*- nroff -*- So, the \" is used as a "comment until the end of the line" marker. This is not handled by po4a, which puts cruft into the pot file. Not a big deal, but annoying. I think that we should s/\\".*$/$/ somewhere in shiftline. But since I never know how to match an even number of \, I'd prefer not to commit the change myself... Even better, such comments could be accumulated somewhere and placed as comment from author in the pot file. That's a bit harder to do, but it would be soo cool ! Thanks, Mt.
