Subject: more spacing badness
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2010 22:14:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100910211434.GA17432@bramka.kerhand.co.uk> (raw)
from vi(1):
ex [-FRrSsv] [-c cmd] [-t tag] [-w size] [file ...]
vi [-eFRrS] [-c cmd] [-t tag] [-w size] [file ...]
view [-eFrS] [-c cmd] [-t tag] [-w size] [file ...]
i wanted to format those nicely (in my opinion anyway) so i tried to put
a double space between "vi" and its args. current code does this:
.Nm vi
.Op Fl eFRrS
.Op Fl c Ar cmd
.Op Fl t Ar tag
.Op Fl w Ar size
.Op Ar
so i tried:
.Nm vi\ \&
old and new groff produce:
vi [-eFRrS] [-c cmd] [-t tag] [-w size] [file ...]
but mandoc seems to inject a tab:
vi [-eFRrS] [-c cmd] [-t tag] [-w size] [file ...]
