Hello Branden,

Regarding the hyphenation problem, the lump in the carpet moves after
groff 1.22.4.  Because HTML output now produces − entities rather
than hyphens from *roff minus special characters (`\-`), [...]

Ouch!  I don't like the look of them on the HTML page: they are
"enormous", looking like ndashes.  And what's worse: when one
copy-pastes such an option (−−breaklonglines, for example) to
a terminal, nano thinks it is a file name.  Aarrr!  :(


...instead I can get...

yadda yadda yadda -
-restricted

...which I'm not sure is an improvement.

:)  No, that's not an improvement.


I think I have enough information to file a Savannah ticket, though I
can't promise I'll get to this specific problem before the groff 1.24.0
release, which is weeks overdue.  Would you like to be CCed by Savannah
on the ticket traffic?

Yes, please.


Regards,

Benno
