Hello po4a maintainers, we recently had a first translation of a perl man page in manpages-l10n. In your documentation (in the man pages) I read that you have lots of experience handling perl documentations, so I hope you can help me.
The perl(1) man page introduces the macro
.de Vb \" Begin verbatim text
.ft CW
.nf
.ne \\$1
..
.de Ve \" End verbatim text
and then perl.1 uses this to create tables, e.g.:
Overview
perl Perl overview (this section)
perlintro Perl introduction for beginners
perlrun Perl execution and options
perltoc Perl documentation table of contents
This table becomes
#. type: IX
#: debian-bullseye debian-unstable fedora-37 fedora-rawhide mageia-cauldron
#: opensuse-leap-15-5 opensuse-tumbleweed
#, no-wrap
msgid "Overview"
msgstr "Überblick"
#. type: IX
#: debian-bullseye debian-unstable fedora-37 fedora-rawhide mageia-cauldron
#: opensuse-leap-15-5 opensuse-tumbleweed
#, no-wrap
msgid "Subsection"
msgstr "Subsection"
#. type: Plain text
#: debian-bullseye debian-unstable fedora-37 fedora-rawhide mageia-cauldron
#: opensuse-leap-15-5 opensuse-tumbleweed
msgid ""
"\\& perl Perl overview (this section) \\& perlintro Perl introduction for "
"beginners \\& perlrun Perl execution and options \\& perltoc Perl "
"documentation table of contents"
msgstr ""
"\\& perl Perl-Überblick (dieser Abschnitt) \\& perlintro Perl-Einführung "
"für Anfänger \\& perlrun Perl-Ausführung und -Optionen \\& perltoc "
"Inhaltsverzeichnis der Perl-Dokumentation"
in the po file and then the resulting file looks like this:
Überblick
perl Perl-Überblick (dieser Abschnitt) perlintro Perl-Einführung für
Anfänger perlrun Perl-Ausführung und -Optionen perltoc
Inhaltsverzeichnis der Perl-Dokumentation
So the formatting is broken, unfortunately some tables are much longer
in perl.1 …
Do you have any suggestions how to handle this, to unbreak the
situation? I'm running out of ideas.
Thanks!
Greetings
Helge
