Subject: bug#59656: An error on your web page (example 7.20)

Dear GNU community, 

I would like to notify you about an error in the first example 

7.20: Squeezing blank lines. 

The commented command 

# now, squeeze all '\n', this can be also done by:
# s/^\(\n\)*/\1/<br>works fine if the hash tag is erased from the second line, <br>but the next line in the sed script <br>s/\n*/\
/<br>that you have left uncommented on your web page adds an extra blank <br>line after every line. This is not the desired behavior. <br>With best wishes <br>Tomas Kana <br>
