Package: txt2man Version: 1.4.8-1 Severity: important Manpages generated by txt2man do not correctly escape hyphens. While this doesn't seem to cause any problems with some locales, this ends up making hyphens disappear when man pages are viewed with many locales. (Including en_US.UTF-8, which is one reason I noticed this in the first place!)
This bug is actually pretty important, because I use txt2man to generate man pages for most of my packages! =) The fix is to make all hyphens in the output file be backslash escaped, i.e. '\-' instead of plain '-'. I haven't looked at the code yet, but I may be able to submit a patch for this. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-10-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages txt2man depends on: ii gawk 1:3.1.4-2 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
