Subject: tset.1: Some remarks and a patch with editorial changes for this man page

Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2025 10:37:37 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: ncurses-bin
Version: 6.5-2+b1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

   * What led up to the situation?

     Checking for defects with a new version

test-[g|n]roff -mandoc -t -K utf8 -rF0 -rHY=0 -rCHECKSTYLE=10 -ww -z < "man page"

  [Use "groff -e ' $' <file>" to find trailing spaces.]

  ["test-groff" is a script in the repository for "groff"; is not shipped]
(local copy and "troff" slightly changed by me).

  [The fate of "test-nroff" was decided in groff bug #55941.]

   * What was the outcome of this action?

an.tmac:<stdin>:154: style: 4 leading space(s) on input line
an.tmac:<stdin>:177: style: 4 leading space(s) on input line
troff:<stdin>:448: warning: trailing space in the line

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     No output (no warnings).

-.-

  General remarks and further material, if a diff-file exist, are in the
attachments.

The warnings shown here point to groff rather than ncurses
 
The other warnings (line length) are addressed upstream,
so there's nothing that I'm planning to do.
