Subject: [PATCH] [MAN] Remove spurious space in descriptions of PS1, PS2, PS4
Date: Mon, 2 May 2011 03:07:01 -0500 [thread overview]

LANG=C man dash shows:
PS1 The primary prompt string, which defaults to ``$ '', unless
you are the superuser, in which case it defaults to ``# ''.
PS2 The secondary prompt string, which defaults to ``> ''.
PS4 Output before each line when execution trace (set -x) is
enabled, defaults to ``+ ''.
Each of the documented default values has a graphic character and
two spaces between the quotation marks. However, the actual
default values have only one space, rather than two.

Thanks. Looking at the formatted output, I see some other extra
spaces (mostly around punctuation), but fixing these confusing ones
first doesn't sound like a bad idea.
