Sectionxargs utility description
Summary0000827: xargs utility description appears incorrect in HTML version - quote marks
Descriptionhttp://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/xargs.html

Appears to contain two typos:

QUOTE:
The application shall ensure that arguments in the standard input are separated by unquoted <blank> characters, unescaped <blank> characters, or <newline> characters. A string of zero or more non-double-quote ( ' )' characters and non- <newline> characters can be quoted by enclosing them in double-quotes. A string of zero or more non- <apostrophe> ( '\" ) characters and non- <newline> characters can be quoted by enclosing them in <apostrophe> characters. ...
END-OF-QUOTE

The quote marks and parenthesis appear to be erroneous to me.
Desired ActionChange the above to read:

The application shall ensure that arguments in the standard input are separated by unquoted <blank> characters, unescaped <blank> characters, or <newline> characters. A string of zero or more non-double-quote ( " ) characters and non- <newline> characters can be quoted by enclosing them in double-quotes. A string of zero or more non- <apostrophe> ( ' ) characters and non- <newline> characters can be quoted by enclosing them in <apostrophe> characters. ...
TagsNo tags attached.

This is an HTML translation issue, so I have moved the bug to the Online Pubs project.

Note that the text in the PDF is:

... non-double-quote (’"’) characters ...
... non-<apostrophe> (’\’’) characters ...

I have applied corrections to the html translation to match the pdf edition.
