I've been skimming through the faq sgml sources, while trying to translate
parts of it to greek. In several places, I can read text like:
<para>As you can see, <filename>book.pdf</filename> will have been
installed in to
<filename>/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq</filename>.
</para>
or even like:
<para>
This error is caused when you have exhausted the number of
available file descriptors on your system. The file table in
memory is full.
</para>
Is there any objection to going through the entire faq and removing extra
whitespace from such places?
I know it would definitely grow the repository with only whitespace fixes, and
I can't prove for certain that extra whitespace can result in something bad or
not for some output format, that's why I ask before doing something like that
and sending with send-pr(1) a patch. Just a guess that having those extra
spaces before </para> might result in extra output lines, if the line break in
some output format occurs *in* those extra spaces.
