From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Bjarni Ingi Gislason Subject: [patch], iso_8859-*.7: Explanation of SOFT HYPHEN and the code for it Date: Thu, 10 May 2012 19:42:31 +0000 Message-ID: <20120510194231.GA13127@rhi.hi.is> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-man-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org To: mtk.manpages-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org Cc: linux-man-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org List-Id: linux-man@vger.kernel.org Package: man-pages Version: 3.40 Severity: minor Tags: patch From "groff -ww ...": :89: warning: can't find special character `shc' This is the only "iso_8859-*.7" file that has this (now) undefined character. The code in column four in "iso_8859-1.7" is "0x2D" ("HYPHEN, MINUS SIGN" or "HYPHEN-MINUS") instead of "0xAD".=20 See Debian bug 156154 (or package "manpages"). There should be an explanation for this graphic character and the code should be 0xAD in iso_8859-1.7 (as in all others), even though "[gn]roff" does not display a "HYPHEN" in that position of the table. The line with "SOFT HYPHEN" gets a footnote and a short explanation. The footnote is from the official ISO standard.
