Typos in the manual

Open schtandard opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I just read parts I and II of the manual and made note of the following typos:

  • p.7, section 4.1, visible space glyph ("␣") is missing (there is just a quoted normal space)
  • p.9, second macro box, line break missing
  • p.11, para.3, "see section Section 2.3" -> "see Section 2.3"
  • p.14, para.3, "are used to to" -> "are used to" or "is used to"
  • p.16, section 4.2, "note that should not" -> "note that one should not" or "note that you should not"
  • p.18, footnote, missing closing brace at end

Also, on page 20, item 3. about spaces before trailing optional arguments is no longer true (since xparse release 2018-04-30).

I have added the suggested fix into my push request #366, which is opened on Jun 1 and originally fix only the "missing closing brace" typo, except for the first and last item.

First item is about \verb*| | used in fontspec-doc-intro.tex does not produce visible space. The typo does exist in fontspec.pdf v2.7c, but currently I failed in reproducing the problem locally (compile fontspec.dtx to get fontspec.pdf) due to some uninstalled fonts. I will try.

Last item is about default xparse behavior of spacing before optional arguments. What you reported is right, but I decided to leave someone with more fluent English than me to fix the description in doc.

As pull request #366 has been merged, only the following two typos have not been fixed:

  • (the first in original report) p.7, section 4.1, visible space glyph ("␣") is missing (there is just a quoted normal space)
  • (the last in original report) p.20, item 3. about spaces before trailing optional arguments is no longer true (since xparse release 2018-04-30).
