Hi Alex, This is a bug in my perl script which assembles the Linux Manpage Book, nothing to do with groff, tbl or gropdf, just a bad habit I have of scrubbing leading spaces before parsing a line, normally fine, but disastrous when the space is intended to protect a full stop being the first character. For this reason, if you find issues with the book it probably is not relevent to the groff list, since it is more likely to be an issue with code which is just a few hours old. Any faults, or changes you would like, please send to me, since it is not relevent to the groff list. Cheers Deri
