Package: rsyslog
Version: 8.36.0-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The patch is in the attachment.
Summary:
Remove space at end of lines.
Fix warnings from test-groff.
Change a two-fonts macro to an one-font macro for a
single argument.
Change a HYPHEN-MINUS (code 0x55, 2D) to a dash
(minus) if it matches " -[:alpha:]" or \(aq-[:alpha:] (for options).
Add a comma (or \&) after "e.g." and "i.e." or use English words.
Split long lines (> 80).
Remove superfluous quotation marks (") from the argument of a
single-font macro.
Fix spelling of "orignally" and "childs".
Details:
Input file is rsyslogd.8

Test nr. 2:
Enable and fix warnings from 'test-groff'.
<rsyslogd.8>:116 (macro BI): only 1 argument, but more are expected
<rsyslogd.8>:283 (macro BR): only 1 argument, but more are expected
Output is from: test-groff -b -e -mandoc -T utf8 -rF0 -t -w w -z
[ "test-groff" is a developmental version of "groff" ]

THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED AS THERE ARE TOO MANY CASES.
Test nr. 41:
Wrong distance between sentences or protect the indicator.
1) Separate the sentences and subordinate clauses; each begins on a new
line. See man-pages(7) [package "manpages"] and "info groff".
Or
2) Adjust space between sentences (two spaces),
