[Docstring-develop] Re: Bug or misfeature? Negative integers in tables

[David G. <go...@us...>]

Hi Ueli,

You've definitely found a bug.  The negative numbers are the key here; the
tables have nothing to do with it.  A freestanding paragraph like this would
also produce incorrect output:

    -1

I think your first suggestion is the way to go:

> Require non-empty descriptions for options

I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

If you find any other surprises, an easy way to diagnose them is to use the
"publish.py" front-end, which produces pretty-printed pseudo-XML of the
internal data strucutre.  It will show you exactly what the parser sees.

Thanks for the bug report!
