Subject: mandoc: While we do encourage simplicity in the sense of writing plain
Date: Sun, 31 Mar 2019 14:17:57 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]

Log Message:
-----------
While we do encourage simplicity in the sense of writing plain '-'
for hyphen-minus, soften the language a bit: writing \- for it is
not wrong, and people started sending us patches to replace \- with '-'
in existing manual pages, which is not a worthwhile change unless
the \- is used at a place where it doesn't belong.
