COMMIT Solution is a bit more complicated than I'd like, but neither "--" nor ">" must appear literally inside SGML comments, according to http://htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/misc/comment.html, which isn't normative, but a good practical explanation for me. Simplifications are welcome. A real issue tracker would even be better :-) Adrian xemacsweb ChangeLog patch: Diff command: cvs -q diff -U 0 Files affected: About/ChangeLog Index: About/ChangeLog =================================================================== RCS file: /pack/xemacscvs/XEmacs/xemacsweb/About/ChangeLog,v retrieving revision 1.217 diff -u -U0 -r1.217 ChangeLog --- About/ChangeLog 5 Nov 2007 11:23:53 -0000 1.217 +++ About/ChangeLog 6 Nov 2007 20:54:39 -0000 ＠＠ -0,0 +1,4 ＠＠ +2007-11-06 Adrian Aichner <adrian(a)xemacs.org&gt; + + * XEmacsServices.content: Fix commenting of lisp fragment. + xemacsweb source patch: Diff command: cvs -f -z3 -q diff -u -w -N Files affected: About/XEmacsServices.content =================================================================== RCS About/ChangeLog =================================================================== RCS Index: About/XEmacsServices.content =================================================================== RCS file: /pack/xemacscvs/XEmacs/xemacsweb/About/XEmacsServices.content,v retrieving revision 1.70 diff -u -w -r1.70 XEmacsServices.content --- About/XEmacsServices.content 5 Nov 2007 11:23:54 -0000 1.70 +++ About/XEmacsServices.content 6 Nov 2007 20:56:54 -0000 ＠＠ -50,19 +50,27 ＠＠ </tr> <!-- -; Evaluate this expresssion below to insert a new, properly numbered +; Evaluate the lisp expresssion below to insert a new, properly numbered ; issue in the correct place (at the top of the issue list).
