Bug#43640: lesstif-bin: Minor inaccuracies and problems in manpage for xmbind
Package: lesstif-bin
Version: 1:0.88.9-1
Severity: wishlist
The manpage for "xmbind" refers to the (apparently) noexistant manpages
"VirtualBindings(5x)" and "LessTif(1x)". I would assume that the lesstif(1)
is the intended target for the latter page, but I have yet to find
"VirtualBindings(5x)". Also, a few minor problems with the manpage itself:
It refers to itself as "xmbind(1x)" but is actually xmbind(1) in the package.
Also, in the Options section of the manpage, in the description of the
version switch, the name of xmbind is enclosed in HTML-style <b></b> tags to
indicate bold instead of the .B command. There are also dangling periods in
two different places. The attached patch (in normal diff format) fixes the
bad pointer to LessTif(1x), the man page's name, the bold tags, and the
dangling periods. I have also added a "FIXME" comment to the reference to
VirtualBindings(5x) under the Related Information section.
