In the nroff source for nmap(1), which looks as though it's been automatically generated from some other format (so hopefully the fix is easy!), comments are often not at the start of a line as they ought to be, e.g.: \(lqinteresting ports table\(rq\&..\" ports: \(lqinteresting\(rq The result is that a double period ".." appears in the man page, rather than a single period at the end of the sentence. The fix is to insert a line break before the comment .\".
Thank you for noticing this. I think it happens whenever there is an indexterm in the source docs/refguide.xml: used. Key among that information is the <quote>interesting ports table</quote>.<indexterm><primary>ports</primary><secondary sortas="interesting">“interesting”</secondary></indexterm> I did not know that they were coming through as comments, but I had noticed the double periods before. Do you perhaps know of a way to inhibit this behavior when using the DocBook stylesheets?
