Subject: Prebuilt man pages on Google code
Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2012 16:28:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121216162827.GA22351@river.lan> (raw)
While investigating Asciidoc's quoting in this thread [1], I noticed
that my system man pages don't display Asciidoc double quoted text
correctly.
[1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/211533
For example in git-fast-import(1):
Here <name> is the person’s display name (for example `Com M Itter'')
and `<email> is the person’s email address (`cm@example.com''). `LT
and GT are the literal less-than (\x3c) and greater-than (\x3e)
symbols.
It turns out that Gentoo installs the man pages from git-core on Google
code, and the error can be seen in the "source" there [2].
[2] http://code.google.com/p/git-manpages/source/browse/man1/git-fast-import.1#379
When I generate man pages here, I get paired quotes (\u201C and \u201D):
Here <name> is the person’s display name (for example “Com M Itter”)
and <email> is the person’s email address (“cm@example.com”). LT and
GT are the literal less-than (\x3c) and greater-than (\x3e) symbol
I can't see any configuration option that could cause this difference,
so I assume it must be caused by some particular tool version on the
machine used to generate these man pages.
If the output is a side-effect of avoiding non-ASCII characters, is is
useful to do something like this (with appropriate Makefile support)?
