@ page 846 line 32771 section sed editorial {dwc-sed-1}

Problem:

Edition of Specification (Year): 2003

Defect code :  1. Error

In the sentence:
"If the delimiter is not <italic>n</italic>,
within <italic>string1</italic> and <italic>string2</italic>,
the delimiter itself can be used as a literal character if
it is preceded by a backslash."
having the n in italics means that n is a parameter of the
y command.  But the only parameters to the y command are
string1 and string2.  The n here is a literal n character
as used in two other places (L32766 and L32775) in this
paragraph and should be shown as the three character
sequence 'n' all in constant-width font.


Action:

Change "<italic>n</italic>" on P846, L32771
to "<constant-width>'n'</constant-width>".
