# Source: <https://sources.debian.org/patches/docbook-utils/0.6.14-4/bug_528334.patch/>

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.

Edit by Bruno Victal <[email protected]>:
 Patch was edited so that it could be applied against the original
 docbook-utils-0.6.14 sources.
