since the html and txt files are generated from the man pages (see PrepareRelease
) it would be better IMHO to also do -name "*.3"
noticed some duplicated words that were visible in your modified text, so it might be worth doing a few additional passes or a proof read additionally.
Fixed the for for
typo and did a second pass with the automated check (didn’t find any new typos).
For the for for
typo I didn’t bother changing the txt and HTML sources seeing as they’re apparently autogenerated.
OK, I've merged this pull request as the easiest thing to do, but I will re-generate the HTML and .txt. I have also been prodded into checking for doubles like "the the", using a script I got from Jeffrey Friedl. Here it is:
# Jeffrey Friedl's script for checking for duplicate words
# Modified to ignore lines starting with dots
$/ = ".\n";
while (<>) {
s/^\..*//mg; # Remove lines that start with .
next if !s/\b([a-z]+)((?:\s|<[^>]+>)+)(\1\b)/\e[7m$1\e[m$2\e[7m$3\e[m/ig;
s/^(?:[^\e]*\n)+//mg; # Remove any unmarked lines
s/^/$ARGV: /mg; # Ensure lines begin with filename
print;
}
Having run this, I've found a few, which I will now edit. Thanks for doing the checking. Note that .1 files need checking as well as .3.
Most of these typos were found with the following command:
