Summary: Examples cut-n-pasted from man pages fail because of quotes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331561 jpazdziora@xxxxxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jpazdziora@xxxxxxxxxx ------- Additional Comments From jpazdziora@xxxxxxxxxx 2007-10-15 04:44 EST ------- The problem is that if you have a POD document with a simple apostroph (\047), when you convert it to man page, that apostrophe gets changed to \342\200\231. $ cat test.pod =head1 Test Testing perl -le 'print 1' End of testing $ od -c test.pod 0000000 \n = h e a d 1 T e s t \n \n T e 0000020 s t i n g \n \n \t p e r l - l e 0000040 ' p r i n t 1 ' \n \n E n d 0000060 o f t e s t i n g \n \n 0000074 $ perldoc test.pod | od -c 0000000 T E S T ( 1 ) 0000020 U s e r C o n t r 0000040 i b u t e d P e r l D o c u 0000060 m e n t a t i o n 0000100 T E S T ( 1 ) \n \n 0000120 \n \n T \b T e \b e s \b s t \b t \n 0000140 T e s t i n g \n \n 0000160 p e 0000200 r l - l e 342 200 231 p r i n t 0000220 1 342 200 231 \n \n E n d 0000240 o f t e s t i n g \n \n \n \n p 0000260 e r l v 5 . 8 . 8 0000300 0000320 2 0 0 7 - 1 0 - 1 5 0000340 0000360 T E S T ( 1 ) \n 0000376 When I run simple $ pod2man test.pod it still has the correct apostophe there: [...] .IX Title "TEST 1" .TH TEST 1 "2007-10-15" "perl v5.8.8" "User Contributed Perl Documentation" .SH "Test" .IX Header "Test" Testing .PP .Vb 1 \& perl -le 'print 1' .Ve .PP End of testing It's only after $ pod2man test.pod | nroff -man when it gets changed. So, either nroff is doing something nasty, trying to be clever and changing characters when it shouldn't, or nroff's behaviour is documented and alright, and then probably pod2man should do some more quoting/escaping/tweaking to produce output which nroff will process without changing the characters. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl Fedora-perl-devel-list mailing list Fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-perl-devel-list
