.TP
.BI something\c
.BI somethingelse
needs to become
.TP
.BI something\
somethingelse
The problem is, that I use sed to fix this (until either upstream
fixes its man page or po4a has a workaround). (And I don't care about
space etc, the translator will need to make her own anyway.)
From trial and error I noticed the the second ".BI" does not cunfuse
po4a.
So I check if
.BI something\c → .BI something\
I unique enough to only apply to the two man pages using it and does
th trick.
Thanks for your efforts!
