[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39871] "see also" formatting for debug.m and in general

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #39871 (project octave):

'polyderiv' and 'isstrprop' both render correctly in plain text because there
is no group of spaces after the comment characters which begin the line "## ".
 This is how debug.m should be fixed and any other instances.

We don't want to use a solution based on a fixed column width because the user
may change the size of their window.  Makeinfo takes this into account and
will wrap where it can.  However, at the moment it thinks the atoms that it is
dealing with are "dbcont", "dbquit", "        dbstack", "dbup", etc.  If we
remove the spaces the atoms will be correct.

Rendering is not an issue for HTML or TeX (pdf) because these systems ignore
the number of spaces and calculate a width on their own.  It's only plaintext,
when you type 'help XXX', where this is going to be a problem.
