You can only create a link to the man-page, not "ServerAliveInterval". the matching nroff source is here: https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/usr.bin/ssh/ssh_config.5#L1473 I think a lot of HTML versions of man pages would benefit, if you could create pointing to "ssh_config.5#ServerAliveInterval" Of course above is just an example. This should work for all man pages, not for ssh_config only. My background: I see a lot of answers at the Q+A site serverfault.com where the user copy+pastes snippets from man pages. It would be much better if you could create a link to the matching definition. Here is the nroff snippet: {{{ .It Cm ServerAliveInterval Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received from the server, .... }}} I have no clue how nroff works. I guess it is not easy to implement. What do you think? Regards, Thomas Güttler -- Thomas Guettler http://www.thomas-guettler.de/ -- To unsubscribe send an email to discuss+unsubscribe@mdocml.bsd.lv
