| | Description: incorrectly strips whitespace (patch included)
In the previous upload, docbook2man was patched to escape the special
characters . and ' at the beginning of a line (see #399947).
Unfortunately that patch was incorrect -- as well as escaping the special
characters, it also removes all whitespace from the beginning of
affected lines. As a result, if you are in a block where whitespace
matters (such as <screen>...</screen>) then the output is now incorrect.
This is very easy to fix -- just match the whitespace and preserve it,
instead of tossing it away. The full patch (just two lines) is included
below.
