Quoting Hell in Manual Pages, or lintian problem?
Hi,
How would I quote backslashes in a manual page correctly?
Currently I have the source:
with '"' around each argument, each '"'
in the string converted to '\\"' and each '\\' in the string
converted to '\\\\'.
This renders to:
with '"' around each argument, each '"'
in the string converted to '\"' and each '\' in the string
converted to '\\'.
which looks reasonable enough.
However lintian doesn't like this and flags the construct with
"acute-accent-in-manual-page". Is this a bug in Lintian?
Greetings
Marc
