I found a subtle problem with a translated string. It concerns the mm package and the string for the abstract title with accented letters:
in fr.tmac we've got: .ds \*[locale]-abstract R\[E ']SUM\[E ']\" in trans.tmac: .als cov*abs-name \*[locale]-abstract The problem is that [EMAIL PROTECTED] in ms.cov is called like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "R\[E" "']SUM\[E" "']" (i.e. it is called with three arguments due to spaces in the string) So when it's time to print, groff complains with: 'A newline character is not allowed in an escape name' I can't find a clean way to solve this: - Prepending the translated string with "" works for the abstract in the first page of the document, but the second one (.MT 4 mode) contains one " before the string. - Using É directly instead the escape mecanism is coding dependant. Any clue ? Note: I don't know if this happens with other accented strings. -- Fabrice Ménard [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
