Base Template documentation incorrect #18

Closed nottledim closed 3 years ago

nottledim commented 4 years ago

The man page for this program is incorrect in that the Base Template is not defined as quoted below. It is defined as: $= See http://www.example.com/bl?$= ($) for details

Quote: ` If the "base template" ($= variable) is defined, this template is used for expansion, instead of the one specified for an entry being queried. Inside the base template, $= construct is substituted with the text given for individual entries. In order to stop usage of base template $= for a single record, start it with = (which will be omitted from the resulting TXT value). For example,

     $0 See http://www.example.com/bl?$= ($) for details
     127.0.0.2    r123
     127.0.0.3
     127.0.0.4    =See other blocklists for details about $`

Whilst you're at it: this sentence is unclear: There is no default TXT value, so rbldnsd will not return anything for TXT queries it TXT isn't specified. I think it means There is no default TXT value, so rbldnsd will not return anything for TXT queries unless TXT is specified but I'm not sure.

Thanks for pointing it out, i've edited the manual file and pushed to the ticket-18-and-19 a revised version.

I'll merge to master with the other fix for the bug you found regarding the template.
