Re: [rfc/rfa:doco] Use @sc{gdb}?


Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 18:33:51 -0400
From: Andrew Cagney <ac131313@ges.redhat.com>

I got annoyed at all the GDB's in the formatted manual being really large so tried changing them to @sc{gdb}. It fixed that problem but I'm not sure that I like the final result :-) (You'll need to build gdb.pdf, gdb ps or gdb.dvi).

Is there a style guide thing on this one? Eli?

There are no strict rules on this one, AFAIK.  If the results of
@sc{gdb} look nice to people, let's do it; if not, let's not.

Personally, I like the results of @sc in such cases.
So, decision time.  Trunk and 5.3 branch?

Andrew
