DetailsDescription:
The SWI-Prolog online documentation has some odd quirks: - Cross-references are replaced with «??» - Literature reference are replaced with «?» - Example code boxes are missing newlines or have adjacent lines interspersed - In-line code formatting is broken when it contains quotes or underscores (e.g., «representation_error('FD_SETSIZE')» has «'FD_» formatted bold, «SETSIZE'» underlined) IIRC the online manual is generated from LaTeX sources, perhaps something is going wrong during the build there; at least the replacement of references with «??» is reminiscent of LaTeX processing errors. I reported similar issues to upstream a while ago (https://github.com/SWI-Prolog/swipl/issues/7), but they were unable to reproduce this. Note that the screenshot might have been taken for a build from the AUR -devel package; the weird box glyphs don’t show up in the community package. Additional info: * swi-prolog 7.6.4-1 Steps to reproduce: 1. Invoke «swipl» 2. Issue «help.» |

Added a comment to issue #7: https://github.com/SWI-Prolog/swipl/issues/7
I believe this is in the hands of the upstream SWI Prolog developers now.
