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.
