In <top-groff-source>/contrib/groffer/perl, I called doclifter groffer.man and got the following error message:
"groffer.man", line 32: error: attempt to alias undefined name groffer:Shell_cmd_base.prompt_font\" "groffer.man", line 33: error: attempt to alias undefined name groffer:Shell_cmd.prompt_text\" "groffer.man", line 34: error: attempt to alias undefined name groffer:Shell_cmd+.prompt_text\" "groffer.man", line 1, expanding Synopsis: error: bogus-looking expression (\n[groffer:Synopsis.level] \$* User Abort "groffer.man", line 2, expanding Error: error: exception exceptions.SystemExit on: . ab doclifter: internal error This error message is quite dull: 1) The line numbers are wrong. 2) It complains about alias definitions for "undefined names". But all of these variables where set before. Either doclifter cannot detect the comment sign \" or is not able to handle long variable names. `doclifter' should be fixed to handle this correctly. I cannot detect any necessity for a "safe" list. I will not fall back to the old scheme of 2 letter variable names.
