I don't think I asked (or would ask) that of Mike. I just got sucked in by Mike's rather inflamatory response to Martin's request to "Please put...". Mike seemed to think he was writing only for document formatters and that the opinions of schoolmarms (and, by inference, document maintainers) didn't matter to him. I took offense, though I tried not to show it in explaining that I thought Martin's issue was the readability of the raw document and that "double spaces" was still a good convention for fixed-pitch text. We disagree. No big deal. I do agree with Mike about the "barriers to entry". There are very many in the FDP and I think this one is unimportant enough that the FDP standard should explicitly permit one or more spaces, but suggest two. (Maybe it should instead suggest a newline, or either, but that's a different thread.) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
