PSPP-BUG: [bug #31561] SET PRINTBACK=OFF not effective for some output drivers

[Ben Pfaff]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #31561 (project pspp):

I pushed a few commits that fix up related issues:


commit 5d8fa2ae8c6e7d890570585aedec66bd51630814

    ascii: Print syntax in output single-spaced.
    
    When SET PRINTBACK=ON was in effect, the ASCII output driver would
    put a blank line between successive lines of syntax, because each line
    was output separately.  This commit fixes that, by causing the output
    core to combine successive syntax output items into a single item that
    contains multiple lines of text.  This was essentially what the HTML
    output driver was doing anyhow, so putting this into the core also
    allows removing the corresponding logic from the HTML driver.

    ascii: Don't print command names in output.
    
    This seems to be closer to what users expect.
    
    I think that having the command names in output was being confused
    by users with SET PRINTBACK=ON (see e.g. bug #31561) even though I
    really just added that so that there are clear titles for the output
    that goes with each procedure.  This change should help, I think.
    
    It might make sense to make drivers only print the titles of
    procedures that have other output, but this commit doesn't do that.

    odt: Write command name in output both only before command, not after.


I haven't decided whether this is a sufficient fix yet, so I'm leaving the bug
open for now.
