Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64850&edit=1 ID: 64850 Updated by: salathe@php.net Reported by: salathe@php.net Summary: Extra whitespace before function links Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Doc Build problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Quick patch submitted as Pull Request: https://github.com/php/phd/pull/2 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-15 21:35:42] salathe@php.net Description: ------------ When rendering <function> tags, a space is added before the anchor tag. This was a deliberate choice (see comment below) but affects areas other than the function/method synopsis. The Package_PHP_XHTML::format_function() method says: // Leading space intional for methodname as phpdoc doesn't have a // space between <type> and the <methodname> in methodsynopsis However, this affects other uses of <methodname> and <function> and is particularly noticeable when the function name is written in parentheses. Examples: mysql_pconnect: "for future use ( mysql_close() will not close links" mysqlnd.stats: "from COM_LIST_FIELD ( mysql_list_fields()) and the" ldap_control_paged_results: "sent by the server ( ldap_control_paged_result_response())." The leading space should be removed. Instead, a space should be added to the rendered HTML only where it is needed: after rendering the <type>, before a <methodname>, in a <methodsynopsis>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64850&edit=1
