[PATCH 20/21] login-utils/last.1: Improve the typesetting of the manual

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  Warning from "groff -b -e -mandoc -t -z -ww < ...":

<standard input>:159: warning: can't find font `t'

  Input file is last.1

###

  Add a space character in front of an ellipsis

  Change '-' to '\-', if it indicates an option

  Change '\-' (minus) to '-' (code "hyphen-minus", rendered with the
glyph hyphen in troff), if it is a part of a compound name.
  A minus is not used in words.  People using UTF-8 and copy-and-paste
can(?) (may?) use "info", "man --ascii" or the command "man" should
have an option to display the '-' ("hyphen-minus") in names of options
with the code (character name) "hyphen-minus" (u002D) instead of
"u2010" (code (character) name "hyphen").

  Change word preferrable
to            preferable

  Change 'left' (causes the warning) to 'l' as a command in a table

  Change '-' to '\-', if it means a minus
