Subject: fix for ascii.7
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 07:24:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014.092406.765912014587965340.wl@gnu.org> (raw)
[man-pages.git c6cefe27dd02beaf518bb654493e5f09e62b3225]
The patch below prevents groff from converting two consecutive spaces
to a single one after end-of-sentence characters in the ASCII
character table if frenchspacing is active (this is the default for
German, for example, thus affecting the German translation of
`ascii.7`, where I noticed the problem).
Maybe other pseudo-tables (i.e., tables not generated by `tbl`) are
affected in a similar way.
Werner
