Omitted exception in man page SETTINGS section #182

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the txt2tags man page.
2. Go to the SETTINGS section.
3. Find the sentence that says, "If the same keyword appears more than once, 
the last found will be the one used (except: options, preproc and postproc, 
which are cumulative)."

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The includeconf setting should also be listed as an exception since it's also 
cumulative. It isn't in the list, though.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using txt2tags 2.6 in Kubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin.

Please provide any additional information below.

I've tested includeconf without conflicts in the configuration files and with 
deliberately inserted conflicts. When txt2tags finds no conflict, all 
configuration files are used. When it finds a conflict, it uses the last 
setting it reads. This is the same behavior txt2tags displays with options, 
preproc, and postproc, so I think it deserves to be added to the list with them.

Also, unless you devs have added some new, nifty settings that will be coming 
out in the new version, it might be better to change the exceptions list 
around, since there are now only three settings that aren't exceptions, so you 
technically would have more exceptions than non-exceptions. (:

I'm sorry I have no idea about this. Maybe Florent or Aurelio?

It's okay - it's not critical, but it will be pretty painless to verify, test, 
and then (if you all agree with my assessment) update. (:
