- Hello,
-
- I've just finished reading the gm4 1.0.3 document (dated November 15th, 1992)
- and have some minor fixes for the doc (which I hope are correct):
-
- 1. Section 7.6 (Deleting a macro, page 17):
- It says "If there is no previous definition, popdef does nothing", which I
- think you ment to read "...popdef behaves like undefine". Anyway, I
- didn't expect the behaviour demonstrated in the example from this
- description.
-
- 2. Section 8.3 (Loops and recursion), at page 23:
- Looks like the second line in the definition of the _forloop macro
- is intermingled, it prints:
-
- '$4''ifelse($1, '$3', ,
-
- while I think the third quote on the line (the one just before the ifelse)
- should be a coma, am I right?
-
- 3. Section 10.3 (Changing comment delimiters, page 30) says:
-
- "..., much as it they were quoted strings."
-
- 's/as it/as if/' ?
-
- 4. Section 12.1 (Diverting output), page 35 says:
-
- "If output is diverted to an non-existent diversion, ...",
-
- 's/ an / a /' ?
-
- 5. Section 14.2 (Evaluating integer expressions, page 45) says:
-
- - Unany minus
-
- 's/Unany/Unary/'
-
-
- Thanks for a wonderfull piece of software.
