[PATCH 01/13] lib/readline/doc/history.3: Fix failure to render on DWB a


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 01/13] lib/readline/doc/history.3: Fix failure to render on DWB and Solaris 10 troff.
Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2024 16:10:57 -0500

The following syntax is killing the page on AT&T troff.  You get the
header and footer and nothing else--just an ocean of blank space.

.de Fn1

With traditional roff eyeballs, this is interpreted the same as this:

.deFn1

or:

.de Fn 1

...which may at last make the problem clear.  Identifiers are only two
characters maximum in AT&T roff.  Because a macro named `1` was never
subsequently called, the entire remainder of the page got scooped into a
never-ending macro definition and would not render.
