Summary

0001756: awk: line breaks missing between output_redirection forms

Description

The "Output Statements" section begins with the following text:

Both print and printf statements shall write to standard output by default. The output shall be written to the location specified by output_redirection if one is supplied, as follows:
> expression>> expression| expression

As seen in Issue 8, draft 3, page 2602, lines 85263-85265 (I don't have access to any Issue 7 PDFs), the three output_redirection forms should be on three separate lines.

The same issue affects at least the following older online publications:

Issue 7, 2016 Edition: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799.2016edition/utilities/awk.html [^]

Issue 7, 2013 Edition: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799.2013edition/utilities/awk.html [^]

Issue 7, 2008 Edition: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799.2008edition/utilities/awk.html [^]

Issue 6, 2004 Edition: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/awk.html [^]

Desired Action

Change:

> expression>> expression| expression

to:

> expression
>> expression
| expression
