GrimesThe implementation, however, didn't handle non-printing characters 123557b7fa1SRuslan Ermilovcorrectly so that 1244438d91eSRuslan Ermilov.Dq Li " ^D^E " 1254438d91eSRuslan Ermilovcounted as 6 spaces, while 1264438d91eSRuslan Ermilov.Dq Li foo^D^Ebar 1279b50d902SRodney W. Grimescounted as 8 characters. 128753d686dSRuslan Ermilov.Bx 4 129753d686dSRuslan Ermilovsystems after 130753d686dSRuslan Ermilov.Bx 4.3 131753d686dSRuslan Ermilovmodified the implementation to be consistent 1329b50d902SRodney W.
