Re: [Po4a-devel] Bug#646173: Typos found while translating the po4a documentation into German

Hello David, first of all a happy new year. Next round of typos / suggestions for improvement: a) doc/po4a.7.pod:480 I'm not sure I understand the last sentence correctly. ... when there is no empty line before the =item line and the content of the item. Empty line *before* =item or *between* =item and the content of the item (or both)?

White spaces ARE important. Note that you cannot use the semi-colon char (B<;>) in the value, and that quoting it doesn't help. For me, I will now cease to work on po4a translation for now. I talked with another German translator and he'll probably take over for the remaining 30%, but still it would be a good time for an upload (also for the web page), hint, hint. If possible, however, I'll take care of the long term (whatever this means) maintaince of the German translation.
