This patch and file should go in before a release, in my opinion, as they describe grep's new colouring possibilities. I myself don't like the man page to be structured (preferring to see the options in strict alphabetical order), but let's wait what the users say. A few suggested changes to the wording of the texinfo patch:
or does whatever --> or gives whatever / or produces whatever
The general synopsis of a --> ...of the
and there can --> There can
summarizing these --> summarizing the
behaved like @sc{gnu} @command{grep}. --> ...@command{grep}'s.
minimum size field width --> minimum-size field width
no effect unless --> no effect unless the
Skip files @emph{and directories} --> Skip files
mentioned in the command line --> mentioned on...
the text terminal that is used --> your text terminal
Furthermore, instead of things like "@item mt=01;31", it should say "@item mt=" and add the default value between parentheses in
subsequent text: "... The default (01;31) is a bold red text..."
I hate the "(`-...' is specified by POSIX)" things.
Not in the patch, but in my opinion mistakenly described:
`[:' represents the open character class followed by a valid character class name. --> `[:' represents the open character class symbol, and should be followed by a valid character class name.
`:]' represents the close character class followed by a valid character class name. --> `:]' represents the close character class symbol.
There is something wrong with the Concept Index and the Index: the first wraps to section 2.1.5 (after context), the last to section 5.1 (Fundamental Structure). I would expect the first to wrap to the Index, and the last to wrap to the very start of manual, or to not wrap at all. They apparently jump to the first entry in their list when scrolling beyond the end. Maybe this is a generic info bug?
