Hmmm. I use "\-v" in the Linux man-pages, and it works
Ha! I just checked and it works for me too. It did not work in 2014. Apparently since 2014 PDF and HTML viewers have gotten smarter about searching, so that "-" matches any form of dash. So perhaps I should remove this \- complication from the TZDB man pages.
You can probably configure that in man.local, no? I know at least you can disable hyphenation, which solves most of the functional problems.
Fine, but that should be the default. Users shouldn't have to fiddle with man.local to tailor output format to be good for the usual case. man.local should be for the unusual cases.
