The one specified by mdoc is hard to read for non-native
speakers from countries which read the date day-first (like
Germany, Greece, North-Korea, Swamp,...).
This is also consistent with how we generally specify dates
at suckless.org.
Mostly manpage-shuffling according to the changes in the corrigendum,
wording changes and more idiomatic expressions.
All this is finished up by marking the POSIX 2013 conformant tools
with
.St -p1003.1-2013
which is not available in older mandoc builds or nroff, but which
reflects what we actually did, so who cares?
This is a huge step and it's not far until we can release sbase 0.1.
- add .Os, it is mandatory.
- don't redeclare .Nm when it's not needed.
- fix some warnings (checked with mandoc -Tlint).
- remove some leftover old stuff.
and mark it as finished in the README.
This is another example showing how broken the GNU coreutils are:
$ echo -e "äää\tüüü\tööö" | gnu-expand -t "5,10,20"
äää üüü ööö
$ echo -e "äää\tüüü\tööö" | sbase-expand -t "5,10,20"
äää üüü ööö
This is due to the fact that they are still not UTF8-aware and
actually see "ä" as two single characters, expanding the "äää" with
4 spaces to a tab of length 10.
The correct way however is to expand the "äää" with 2 spaces to a
tab of length 5.
One can only imagine how this silently breaks a lot of code around
the world.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
