Man page: signal.2 Issue: Such paragraphs shouldn't be no-wrap "B<WARNING>:\n" " the behavior of\n" "B<signal>()\n" "varies across UNIX versions,\n" "and has also varied historically across different versions of Linux.\n" "B<Avoid its use>: use\n" "B<sigaction>(2)\n" "instead.\n" "See I<Portability> below.\n"I don't understand this report, and can't see a problem. Please elaborate.I think the problem is that the spurious space before "the behavior" is confusing po4a.Thanks, Jakub. I fixed that.
Thanks for fixing.
I'm not sure if this is the cause, but there are lots of forced line
breaks ("the \n") in this paragraph, which is quite unusual.
I look at the next version on this again, and might come back, but for
now consider this one fixed.
Greetings
Helge
