Package: po4a Version: 0.31-1 Severity: wishlist I recently started adding po4a support to man-db for its own manual pages. In general I was very impressed with its parsing, but of course there were a few cases where I wanted to hide strings from po4a (such as environment variable names used as headings rather than in the middle of sentences), and I spent a little while trying to think of a convenient and reasonably clear way to suppress this. The best I came up with was to use -o groff_code=verbatim and say:
.if !'po4a'hide' So, for example: .B \-q, \-\-quiet becomes: .if !'po4a'hide' .B \-q, \-\-quiet There may be a better way that uses a dedicated macro so that we can just say -o untranslated=Ph or something, but I only had a small amount of time to work on this and so didn't get that far. Perhaps it would be useful to document my suggestion or an improvement on it in Locale::Po4a::Man(3pm) (of course with a warning that it should not be used in the middle of sentences such that it would break up something that should be translated in one piece)?
