>Environment:

	3.0-19980827-SNAP
	src/contrib/awk/doc/awk.1 revision 1.2

>Description:

	Manpage awk.1 has following typos.
	o "[[=e]]" should be "[[=e=]]".
	o Leading space before roff macro ".BR" should be removed.

	"% man 1 awk" shows:

       Equivalence Classes
              An  equivalence class is a locale-specific name for
              a list of characters that are equivalent. The  name
              is  enclosed in [= and =].  For example, the name e
              might be used to represent all  of  ``e,''  ``e`,''
              and  ``e`.''  In this case, [[=e]] is a regexp that
              matches any of
               .BR e ,
               .BR e' , or
               .BR e` .

>How-To-Repeat:

	% man 1 awk

>Fix:
	I suggest to apply following patch for
	src/contrib/awk/doc/awk.1 revision 1.2.
