You are disabling linebreaking, which just causes text to run off. It's complicated: * In PostScript & PDF (`man -t -l iptables-extensions.8 >1.ps && ps2pdf 1.ps`): text runs off the page and the rest just vanishes * In HTML: it depends on additional style properties emitted into the HTML page by the; in any case, browsers won't wrap <pre> and let text equally run off when emitting to a printer. Emitting to a display can work (infinitely-sized page), but you have to scroll right. * In terminals: it depends on the terminal's wrap setting. You can try this yourself: use Ctrl-A-R in GNU screen and type a really long command. >11/15 extensions: *.man: Use U+002D dash for ranges and math terms Number ranges should use an en dash. I fixed that now..
