Hello, another groff question.
Consider the following,
.Bl -column asdfasdf asdfasdf asdfasdf
.It a ) ] ;<TAB>b ) ] ;<TAB>c ) ;
.El
where <TAB> is a tab. Why does this produce the following:
a]) ; b]) ; c]);
^^^ ^^^
In words, each column's last closing-punctuation is buffered by a space,
while prior ones aren't. This happens with any sequence ") ) ]" etc.
Shouldn't this really do
a ] ) ; b ] ) ; c]);
since <TAB>-separated lines are supposed to behave like columnar real
lines and only the closing terms are adjusted?
Is this a bug or intentional behaviour?
Note that "new" groff and "old" groff both exhibit the same behviour.
Thank you,
Kristaps
