Created attachment 47929 [details] [review] [PATCH 1/2] Fix spelling/grammatical mistakes detected by Debian's lintian(1) Created attachment 47930 [details] [review] [PATCH 2/2] man pages: replace all unescaped hyphen/minus characters with \- In a man page, "-" officially means a typographical (Unicode) hyphen, which frequently breaks the ability to copy and paste code examples from a man page. "\-" means the ASCII hyphen/minus character. See <http://lintian.debian.org/tags/hyphen-used-as-minus-sign.html> for more details. Rather than trying to distinguish between hyphens, em-dashes and hyphen/minus, I just replaced all ambiguous hyphens with \- by applying this vim command repeatedly until it didn't find anything: %s/\(^\|[^\\]\)-/\1\\-/g Looks good to me. (BTW, I really see no need for a review procedure for this kind of change. Reviewing this is a waste of time) (In reply to comment #3) > Looks good to me. Thanks, this was fixed in 1.5.6. |
