Hello,
while trying to improve performance of mdocmx(7) on groff(1)
(without .hash request) further i'm now diversifying further via
.length+.substring (instead of only .length). I am using \A'' so
that i can ensure the generated name can actually be used.
The (circumvented) problem is that, e.g.,
$ cat > ~/tmp/t.tr <<-_EOT
.if \A'du' \{\
du ist ok.
.\}
.if \A'\[' \{\
a bug?
.\}
huhu.
_EOT
generates
?0[steffen@sherwood roff.git]$ groff -Tutf8 < ~/tmp/t.tr
<standard input>:5: missing `]'
<standard input>:5: invalid component `a' in composite glyph name
du ist ok.
That just can't be the intent, can it? Is this a general parser
problem, i haven't looked yet.. Should i open a bug report?
Ciao,
--steffen
