Fix troff warnings in manpages
Hi James! While packaging voacapl for Debian, its package checker (lintian) found some warnings caused by voacap manpages:
-
troff
does not allow newline characters in an escape name. - it treats lines starting with an apostrophe as a control line, that can be followed by a macro call.
This patch, in the case you merge it, replaces lines containing \n
by .br
, and uses \(aq
instead of apostrophes on the beginning of a line.
The warnings emitted by troff can be seen using the following command:
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 \
man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 -Z man/voacapl.1 > /dev/null
