Andrew: In description of (?iLmsx), you say it matches the empty string and

1998-03-08 07:38:27 +00:00
20e01966f5
Logical markup.

Several uses of "\^" could be simplified; this fixes part of the info

In description of \D, revise markup so that the caret shows up in the HTML

for the 1.5 release version of the file.

78f8e98232
Lots of minor nits that allow this file to get processed without failures by
...
the info generation phases. Most of the errors had occurred in the makeinfo
step.
Commented out the warning at the top; this should still really be removed
before 1.5, but that's not my call. It generated problems for the info
conversion as well.
1997-12-29 21:39:39 +00:00
