Follow-up Comment #6, bug #64450 (group groff): [comment #5 comment #5:] > the added comment section lists -p as one of the options nroff > doesn't support, despite nroff supporting this option
Remedied in [http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=2c9186054 commit 2c9186054]. The modified comment weakens the case, I think, for rejecting -g, -G, and -j. They're switches of convenience, giving the user an easier way to invoke the preprocessors if desired, and fewer differences to have to remember between a troff and an nroff command. A user who wants to run those preprocessors, even in nroff mode, will grumble a little if their accustomed troff command line fails to work and they have to construct a pipeline. A user who _doesn't_ want to run them can just omit the switches. So it helps some users and doesn't hinder the rest. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64450> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
