This second form (with <cr> at the end of a line) is much easier for translations and the correction of the first translations: we can better see, phrase by phrase, the two versions (english and translation). It helps (visual) synchronization. So, if it has no impact on the final formatting, I prefer the last form. -- Robert Brive <brive@mail.dotcom.fr> <brive@freebsd-fr.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
