From 64c4e270653d0b6e64692ea8539ffef6c291d93c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Schwarze Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2018 23:41:16 +0000 Subject: Tweak the description of -l: Avoid the misunderstanding that the essential purpose of -l is similar to the purpose of the -a option in mandoc(1), which is not the point: the fact that -l implies -a is merely a minor detail. The point of -l is to make man(1) behave like mandoc(1). Move the mention of -a to the end to de-emphasize it. Nate Bargmann reported that this seriously confused him, and i can see why. --- man.1 | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/man.1 b/man.1 index 38983a42..c9bff9ab 100644 --- a/man.1 +++ b/man.1 @@ -114,8 +114,7 @@ manual.
