Bug Description

Greetings-
   I am looking at the pdf for version 6.10 which I recntly downloaded. Seems some of the command which are longer than a line are just cut off. They do not wrap around. For example if you look at page 29 of pdf for server manual, which talks about configuring a firewall, you see the command is missing the end of it. Am I doing something wrong?
Regards-
Gholi

Thanks for your bug Gholi - I don't think you're doing anything wrong.
I can confirm this bug by looking at page 30 of the Ubuntu server guide, section 3.4. 'Logs' where the example from a log file clearly has part of the IP address cut off.
In the PDF guide it is:
[4304885.870000] NEW_HTTP_CONN: IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=127.0.

In the HTML guide it is:
[4304885.870000] NEW_HTTP_CONN: IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=127.0.0.1 DST=127.0.0.1 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=58288 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=53981 DPT=80 WINDOW=32767 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

This is due to a bug in the PDF generation software that we use; we can't fix it unless (by chance) they do so. We've stopped shipping pdfs now, partly because of issues with that software, so I'll close this bug.
