Usually man pages are wrapped and "justified" so that each line of text is the same length (just under the current width of the viewing window). It does the justifying by adding extra spaces between some words, and hyphenating others. Does that describe what you're seeing? Personally, I dislike this. While it may make a block of text look neater, it makes it more difficult to read. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
