Package: xterm
Version: 330-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Warnings from "nroff".

###

  Changes in the patch:

  Remove space at end of lines.

  Fix warning from man/groff

<standard input>:64: warning: number register `.I' not defined
<standard input>:5034: warning: number register `.' not defined

  Change <number>-<number> to <number>\(en<number> if it is
a numeric range

  Protect . if not end of sentence

  Separate an ellipsis from the preceding string with space.

  Change a two-fonts macro to an one-font macro.

  Change \\ to \e to print the escape character
Just once.

  Change a HYPHEN-MINUS (code 0x55, 2D) to a minus (\-), if in front of a
name for an option.'

  Adjust space between sentences or protect the indicator.

  Find a repeated word

  Split long lines (> 90).


###

  What was not done: 

  Define a string "el" for an ellipsis
.ds el \&.\^.\^.\&\" or use "EL", "ellipsis"  or another name

  Change \\ to \e to print the escape character.
For all cases except one.

  Use a macro to change to italic font, as it has the italic
correction included.
