appearto have a check target at all, or anything that looks for hard tabs or nbsps.Those checks were added to the
Makefileback in October in commit 5b7da5c261d, but that got missed even though Daniel had mentioned it in the
discussionthread.[1]
I have been working on running these checks under the Meson build
system. To do this, I converted the checks into a Perl script
(sgml_syntax_check) and ran it against both the Makefile and Meson.
Test's name is 'sgml_syntax_check' in the Meson. One difference I
noticed: I could not find a way in Meson to create a test that does
not run by default. As a result, this syntax test runs every time you
run the 'meson test'. This behaviour differs from Autoconf, but I
think it is acceptable.
Additionally, some of the CI OSes were missing docbook-xml; but it has
now been installed.
I did not create a new thread for that, I can create one if you think
that it would be better.
CI run with the attached patch applied:
