Ohh okay okay. I understand what you are saying. I wanted to fix the heredoc markers and indent the tests for better readibility but actually I fixed the heredoc marker in [2/4]. Therefore, the change in [2/4] should in fact be: - test_i18ncmp actual - <<EOF + test_i18ncmp - actual <<EOF And in this patch [3/4], it should become: - test_i18ncmp - actual <<EOF + test_i18ncmp - actual <<-EOF As well as the indentation fixes I did in the patch already. Now I understand the exact use and significance of the heredoc. Thank you.
