Dear Bison maintainer,
the manpage-l10n project[1] maintains a large number of translations of
man pages both from a large variety of sources (including Bison) as
well for a large variety of target languages.

During their work translators notice different possible issues in the
original (english) man pages. Sometimes this is a straightforward
typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a
convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the
original.

We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at
least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some
distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss
your latest upstream version once in a while, so the error might be
already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately
if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and
the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check
each and every issue.

Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format,
i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man,
groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where
possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into
your source format.

Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are
not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the
problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify
them.

I'm now reporting the issues for your project. If future reports
should use another channel, please let me know.

Issue 3:  I<yacc> =E2=86=92 B<yacc>

"I<Bison> is a parser generator in the style of I<yacc>(1).  It should be "

Issue 9:  I<Bison> =E2=86=92 B<bison>
Issue 10: B<parse.tab.c> =E2=86=92 I<parse.tab.c>

"Input files should follow the I<yacc> convention of ending in B<.y>.  Unli=
ke "
"I<yacc>, the generated files do not have fixed names, but instead use the "
"prefix of the input file.  Moreover, if you need to put I<C++> code in the=
 "
"input file, you can end his name by a C++-like extension (.ypp or .y++), "
"then bison will follow your extension to name the output file (.cpp or .c+"
"+).  For instance, a grammar description file named B<parse.yxx> would "
"produce the generated parser in a file named B<parse.tab.cxx>, instead of "
"I<yacc>'s B<y.tab.c> or old I<Bison> version's B<parse.tab.c>."
