The following reply was made to PR docs/60743; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Marc Silver <marcs@draenor.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, aspiesrule@mcleodusa.net Cc: Subject: Re: docs/60743: Bug in hypertext version of random (4) manpage Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2004 15:56:14 +0000 --5G06lTa6Jq83wMTw Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi, Due to the fact that the man.cgi dymanically generates the HTML page from the raw man page, I'm not entirely sure if this problem should be fixed in man.cgi or in the actual man page. man.cgi should perhaps be more stringent when generating links to other pages, as the man page contains 'one (1)' and not 'one(1)', as is the standard adhered to in FreeBSD man pages. That said, my personal feeling is that the man page could more easily be changed with fewer consequences, and I've attached a patch to that end. Perhaps someone who knows more than me about this could make a decision on where the change should go.
