Hi people,
I fixed a few roff markup errors in translated man pages yesterday, see
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-translations/2006-September/002110.html
or
svn diff -r 19881:19882
So I wanted to quickly remind you guys that lines should not start with
' in man pages, ' is treated as roff markup at the beginning of the
line. The easiest way to avoid this is to simply move the last word
from the previous line before the single-quoted text or rephrase a
sentence that starts with a singlequote.
If you wish to check your man page for errors just run
man DOCS/man/XX/mplayer.1 > /dev/null
(g)roff will print errors to the screen.
There are a couple of unbreakable lines left in several translated man
pages, I'd appreciate if you could eventually fix this.
Diego
