With a fresh CVS update (of this afternoon), it no longer happens. I don't see the ChangeLog entry that would have fixed this bug. If I read `cvs log woman.el` correctly, the last change seems to be : > revision 1.70 > date: 2008-04-11 02:30:24 +0000; author: cyd; state: Exp; lines: +1 -1; commitid: t1JbOdImtMiRsDYs; > (woman2-TH): Undo last change. Use string-equal instead of > string-match. which is older than the version of CVS in which I saw the bug. Anyway... Now, a link to regexp(5) displays the man page of regexp(n) (I didn't notice that this page existed on my system...). More generally, WoMan seems not to use the section of the man page when following a link. To reproduce this behaviour, load man(1), and follow the groff(1) link. WoMan then asks whether it should display groff(1) or groff(7). Now, this one is only a minor annoyance. -- Fred ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
