c44(1) man page outputs splurious `.SM' macro invocation

[Ralph Corderoy]

Binary package hint: djvulibre-bin

Ubuntu 8.04, djvulibre-bin 3.5.20-2.

c44(1) includes an invocation of the macro SM (small capitals) in its
output.

    $ man c44 | g -1 PPM
       can be either a portable gray-map ( PGM ) or a portable pix-map (.SM
       PPM ). Input images compressed with JPEG are also accepted. It is how‐
       ever suggested to only use high quality JPEG files ( low compression
    $

This is due to a faulty method of making the open parenthesis before
`PPM' have no intervening white-space.

    $ zc /usr/share/man/man1/c44.1.gz | g -1 PPM
    ) or a portable pix-map (\
    .SM PPM
    ).
    $

The attached patch fixes this and various other problems with the page's
formatting, including removing extra blank lines, starting paragraphs
the proper way, removing empty paragraphs from before a section header,
removing spaces from inside other parenthesis, stopping `e.g.' and
`i.e.' from looking like the end of a sentance, and removing full stops
after exclamation marks.

Thanks Kurt.

Can you remove the additional
+ *
in your debian/changelog entry?

Also we're in Alpha5 Freeze right now, so it can't be uploaded.

It'd be nice if you could also forward the change to upstream (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=32953&atid=406583) and/or Debian (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Bugs).

Apart from that, the patch looks good. :-)

[Kurt Litsch (kurt.litsch)]

New debdiff to reflect Daniel's suggestion...I removed the old one to avoid any confusion. :)

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Thanks a lot for forwarding it, hopefully we can drop our local change due to that soon again. Also thanks for crediting Ralph with the fix in the changelog.

I'll check this out again once Alpha5 Freeze is over.

Thanks to both of you!
