Replying to my own message. It seems that <screen>...</screen> is
used in two different manners in the doc/ tree. In the file
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/article.sgml it's used
as shown in line 171
168 <para>Check out a module with the <literal>co</literal> or
169 <literal>checkout</literal> command.</para>
170
171 <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>cvs checkout shazam</userinput></screen>
172
173 <para>This checks out a copy of the <filename>shazam</filename> module. If
In other places, like for instance in
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/fonts/article.sgml,
it's used differently.
239 <informalexample>
240 <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>vidcontrol VGA_80x60</userinput>
241 </screen>
242 </informalexample>
Where </screen> is preceded by a newline, the output does look
different when rendered by Netscape. This is however a whitespace
fix, and it touches far too many places in the doc tree. I am not
sure if a send-pr would be proper in this case.
Comments anyone?
I mean, is this worth the effort of going through every document in
there, and changing it, take a nice diff and post it to a PR?
