Savannah bug->email gateway problems affecting groff

[CCing Bob Proulx] This message just is not showing up on the savannah-hackers-public list (after two attempts 6 hours apart), so maybe there is more than one email problem going on. groff list subscribers may wish to consult https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2022-08/inde

Thank you Branden, that was it. Now I can create an inline math expression, although the inline math expression was nonsense in the document :) On Tue, Aug 16, 2022 at 4:23 PM Riza Dindir wrote: > > Oh oh. Tooo many mistakes. What was i thinking. Will try these. Thanks. > > On Tue, Aug 16, 2022,
