Dear pdftex developers,

'man pdftex' shows at the bottom: "that generated by the to C system (web2c), originally written by"

There is a missing word after 'the': 'Web', the manpage source has: 'by the \*(WB to'. But there is no .ds WB at the top of the manpage.

The fix would be to copy the definition of WB from another manpage, for example pltotf: .if n .ds WB Web .if t .ds WB W\s-2EB\s0

In current TeXLive svn, the patch would be the following.

Index: pdftex.man =================================================================== --- pdftex.man (revision 13610) +++ pdftex.man (working copy) @@ -19,6 +19,8 @@ .if n .ds AX AmSTeX .if t .ds AY \fRA\\h'-0.1667m'\\v'0.20v'M\\v'-0.20v'\\h'-0.125m'S\fP\*(LX .if n .ds AY AmSLaTeX +.if n .ds WB Web +.if t .ds WB W\s-2EB\s0 .\"===================================================================== .SH NAME pdftex, pdfinitex, pdfvirtex \- PDF output from TeX

We would be happy if you could apply the patch.

thanks for the patch, it will be applied in next version. Regards, Thanh
