Subject: [PATCH 04/10] rtcwake: (man) reduce an inflated table to sane proportions
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2025 11:48:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250417094825.20870-4-bensberg@telfort.nl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250417094825.20870-1-bensberg@telfort.nl>
Asciidoctor puts an unneeded blank line into every table cell (this
is fixed in git [1], but not released yet), and will unnecessarily
wrap text in a cell when the text is slightly longer than average.
Replace the table with a block of preformatted text, and replace
the "+5min" example with a true format that covers most cases,
and give some examples of that format after the block.
