[Po4a-devel] Font problem in man gettextization

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm trying to make schroot documentation available for translation [1], but some font modifier like \f[CBI], \f[CI] or \f[BI] appear not to be handled. [1]http://bugs.debian.org/588962 Some comments in Locale::Po4a::Man made me think it could be handled : # A font start by \f and is followed either by # [.*] - a font name within brackets (e.g. [P], [A_USER_FONT]) # (.. - a parenthesis followed by two char (e.g. "(CW") # . - a single char (e.g. B, I, R, P, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) my $FONT_RE = "\\\\f(?:\\[[^\\]]*\\]|\\(..|[^\\(\\[])"; This comment was added in r1.49 [2], but I fail to understand if the \f[.*] form has ever been supported. [2]http://alioth.debian.org/scm/viewvc.php/po4a/lib/Locale/Po4a/Man.pm?roo... I guess that using PO tags like "CBI<my CBI text>" is not a good idea since it would be changed to something like "CB\fImy CBI text\fP" when the translated manpage will be generated, and I wonder if there is some issue using something like "[CBI]<my CBI text>" or even if keeping the groff tags unmodified "\f[CBI]my CBI text\fP" would be acceptable. Thanks in advance for your advice. Maybe I'm just missing something obvious, if not, I'm willing to give a try in patching Locale::Po4a::Man in order to use "[.+]<...>" tags, or keeping stuff like "\f[.+]my CBI text\fP" , please tel me which form would be best. Cheers David
