./term-utils/scriptlive.1.andoc:

*Be careful!* Do not forget that the typescript may contains arbitrary commands. It is recommended to use *"scriptreplay --stream in --log-in typescript"* (or with *--log-io* instead of *--log-in*) to verify the typescript before it is executed by *scriptlive*.

The distance between sentences is hardcoded in the sources.

-.-.

Separate the sentences and subordinate clauses;
each begins on a new line.
See man-pages(7) ("Conventions for source file layout") and "info groff" ("Input Conventions").

The best procedure is to always start a new sentence on a new line,
at least, if you are typing on a computer.

Remember coding: Only one command ("sentence") on each (logical) line.

E-mail: Easier to quote exactly the relevant lines.

Generally: Easier to edit the sentence.

Patches: Less unaffected text.

Search for two adjacent words is easier,
when they belong to the same line,
and the same phrase.

Man pages (with groff, man (man-db)):

The amount of space between sentences in the output can then be
controlled with the ".ss" request.
