Description Yves-Alexis Perez editbugs 2011-02-06 17:19:46 CET
Hey,

it seems that some macros are not defined in exo manpages:

W: exo-utils: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/exo-csource.1.gz 10: warning: macro `Aq' not defined
W: exo-utils: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/exo-open.1.gz 10: warning: macro `Aq' not defined

Looking at the files we can see:

----
.TH "EXO\-CSOURCE" "1" "11/21/2010" "Xfce" "Xfce User\*(Aqs Manual"
.\" -----------------------------------------------------------------
.\" * Define some portability stuff

.ie \n(.g .ds Aq \(aq

So I guess the macro Aq is defined to late to be used in the title.

Not much I can do here, since we build the man page from xml. I think we've had this discussion before.
