s/will/may/ It's been there a long, long time; there's no telling when Chet might decide to remove it. Also, Chet pretty consistently sets "bash" in bold in the man page. Finally, it's less visually noisy to use man(7) font macros than *roff font selection escape sequences. So I'd say: +The old format +.BI $[ expression ] +is deprecated +and may be removed in upcoming versions of +.BR bash . +.PP (I advise breaking input lines at clause boundaries, but this practice is only for ease of document maintenance and clarity of diffs, and makes no difference to formatting.[1]) Regards, Branden [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/groff.html.node/Input-Conventions.html#Input-Conventions This material also appears in the roff(7) man page of groff 1.23.0.
