Subject: man-pages.7: Simplify indentation of structure definitions, shell session logs, and so on
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2020 09:32:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f70c7f62-9d61-71aa-67cf-43501a29bccc@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello Michael,
Indentation of structure definitions, shell session logs, and so on
When structure definitions, shell session logs, and so on are included
in running text, indent them by 4 spaces (i.e., a block enclosed by
.in +4n and .in), format them using the .EX and EE macros, and surround
them with suitable paragraph markers (either .PP or .IP). For example:
.PP
.in +4n
.EX
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
return 0;
}
.EE
.in
.PP
That could be simplified to the following, right?:
.IP
.EX
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
return 0;
}
.EE
.PP
Or is there any difference?
Thanks,
Alex
