Subject: inserting a comment into a blank line for nroff (M-;)
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
***Have some troff/nroff input say
This is some troff input and
you want a comment between the line.
***You open a blank line to give
This is some troff input and
you want a comment between the line.
then you go to the blank line and type M-; giving
This is some troff input and
\"
you want a comment between the line.
This is bad since the comment line acts as a blank line which gives a
.sp 1
leaving a blank line.
Instead of \" when a comment is inserted into an empty line
nroff-mode should insert
'\" (or perhaps .\")
Thanks for emacs.
