The part you quoted is formatted like this (I indented for e-mail inclusion and line-wrapped below): .PP <refspec> .RS 3n The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is +?<src>:<dst>; that is, an optional plus +, followed by the source ref, followed by a colon :, followed by the destination ref. This is the same with or without the patch we are discussing. * I updated my notebook that runs Debian with AsciiDoc 8.2.1 and tested with the patch. The formatted result matches the above. * I tried the above with a hand-installed AsciiDoc 8.2.1 from the tarball distribution. Again, the formatted result of the quoted part matches. * The preformatted manual pages on man branch in git.git are generated on a k.org machine that runs AsciiDoc 7.0.2 on FC5. The version before the patch is formatted like this: .TP <refspec> The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is +?<src>:<dst>; that is, an optional plus +, followed by the source ref, followed by a colon :, followed by the destination ref. I haven't had a chance to test how it comes out with the patch, but because the only difference under AsciiDoc 7 is the definition of {caret} macro, I do not expect any change in the quoted area. In other words, there is no breakage like you are observing in the original (nor updated) version with any of the platforms and AsciiDoc versions I had handy to test. There is something different with the version of AsciiDoc you are using, but I cannot tell what that is. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
