Subject: [PATCH] mount.8: Some typographical and prefix corrections to the manual
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2014 17:11:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140331171117.GA4657@rhi.hi.is> (raw)

Source: util-linux
Version: 2.24.1
File: sys-utils/mount.8
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

  Changes:

  Space at end of lines removed

  -- changed to \-\- if it means an option

  Macro BR changed to macro B if there is only one argument

  - changed to \- if it means an option

  Macro IR changed to macro I if there is only one argument

  Space put before a punctuation mark if it is a part of the only
argument to the macro IR

  A full stop (.), that begins or ends a string, protected with \&

  \- changed to - if it is to be rendered (permanently) as a hyphen in
a compound name for an option.
  People that use UTF-8 and copy-and-paste (and thus need only a
temporary display) can use the command "info", "man --ascii" or the
"man" command should have an option for these people to display both \-
and - with the code hyphen-minus (0x2D).
  This case should be solved on a meta level and not in each man page
(lowest level).


 " - " changed to " \(en " (en-dash) if it means a dash (pause,
separation)

  \, added before an italic character (italic correction)

  Macro BR changed to macro B it there is only one argument

  No line adjustment (.na) for a long line added

  \c added at the end of a line to inhibit an addition of a word space

  k (prefix for units) changed to KiB

  A comma added at end of lines when the next line continues the series
of words

  .. changed to ...

  512mb changed to 512\ MB and 176mb to 176\ MB

  ~ made bigger for troff to be better visible

  The word pickyness changed to
           pickiness

  The word binary added before mega and giga

  kibi, mebi, and gibi added after corresponding names

  - between numbers changed to \(en if it means a range

  A full stop (.) removed from the end of a name of an option

  A word space added after a comma in an enumeration

  kilobytes changed to kibibytes when the examples indicate that

  "16\ k" changed to "value=16k", etc. for clarification

  Space added to an argument for the BR macro

  Patch is in the attachment
