Well, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I think this change was reasonable on its own merits and I don't plan to revert it. The exact details of margins and such are very much an implementation detail that other packages should in no way be relying upon. Perhaps node-marked-man should do a whitespace-insensitive comparison of some kind? Whitespace details in the output don't seem terribly relevant to what it's trying to do. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
