Follow-up Comment #1, bug #33208 (project octave): When Octave generates the scripts/DOCSTRINGS file, it strips out leading comment characters and the first space (if any). See the scripts/gethelp.cc program. I don't think you want to strip out all leading spaces because doing that will screw up any by-hand formatting in @verbatim blocks. It seems simpler to me to impose a one-space-is-discarded rule on docstring authors rather than trying to make the code too complex to solve a problem that can just be avoided by following some fairly simple rules. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33208> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
