Follow-up Comment #7, bug #45502 (group groff):
[comment #6 comment #6:]
> If an `el` request or the
> conditional expression of an `if` or `ie` request is followed
> immediately by a newline, then (A) if in AT&T compatibility
> mode, ignore the newline character as AT&T troff did
This description doesn't seem to match AT&T behavior. "Ignore the newline
character" implies, to me, that AT&T troff processed
.if 1
.tm true
as if it were written
.if 1 .tm true
But in fact AT&T troff processes it as if it were
.if 1 .do-nothing
.tm true
So AT&T troff is in essence ignoring the .if request...which is what's written
next in the commit message, for NON-compatibility mode:
> (B) otherwise, emit a warning in
> category `el` and ignore the _request_.
Are these descriptions backwards, or is my understanding?
