Subject: [patch] armscii-8.7, koi8-r.7, koi8-u.7, unicode.7: Uniform description
Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2010 18:24:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ia2bm0$2lt$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

Hi,

Please find inline a patch to address some consistency among
character set manual page descriptions. If you prefer to
shrink “the” from other manual page descriptions (ascii.7,
cp1251.7 and iso_8859-*.7 ones), I volunteer to provide the
(trivial) patch instead.
