Package: linuxdoc-tools
Version: 0.9.21-0.8
Severity: normal

Originally reported by Göran Uddeborg  to redhat Bugzilla on 2002-03-19,
reported here so it is also in our BTS

Original description follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description of problem:
Some words in my document gnerates an error message from linuxdoc, and are
omitted from the output.  It appears to happen if the first non-white
character in a paragraph, or on an input line, is an apostrophe
(ASCII code 39).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.16-4


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.linuxdoc --backend=txt x.sgml

x.sgml is attached to this report.

Actual Results:  The error message from linuxdoc:

Processing file x.sgml
<standard input>:85: warning: `'over''' not defined

And the word enclosed in apostrophe (quotes) doesn't appear in the output.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The example file:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
<!doctype linuxdoc system>
<article>
<title>Test
<author>Myself
<sect>Introduction<p>
''over''
</article>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

My last patch to fmt_txt.pl also fixes this problem by inserting zero width
space in front of ' at start of line, so ' is not treated by groff as a
control char.
