ascii(7) fix
PATCH 1/1 ascii(7) fix
Hi Michael,
I just tried to print ascii(7) and found out the tables on the second page (compact ascii in hex and dec) are screwed because they do not use monospaced font. This is of course can not be seen on the terminal.
Attached patch (against man-pages-3.18) fixes that by adding the proper .fn (code copy-pasted from the first table). I checked the result both in the terminal and on printer.
Regards,
Kir.

Nowadays, the in page change log usually only gets updated if there's some major change to content. Otherwise, it's all recorded in the git changelog. So I removed this line.

Sure.
BTW I have overlooked that there's a git repo available for man-pages; I though if it exists it should be noted at http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/patches.html page so I looked no further. I suggest you to add a note about git repo to it.

Oops, looks like I have attached the wrong version of the patch :( Yes it's a typo.
On that line there's a space after the '=', then tab, while on the other lines there is only a tab. I though it's a bug and removed the space, but found out it have a special effect while used inside a table: a line of === appears. So I added the space back but apparently added some junk, too...

Good point. I had updated the downloads page to mention the git repo, but not the patches page. Fixed now.
