I suspect, but need confirmation, that they're using [https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc scdoc] to generate this. Maybe this exhibit can drive some improvement in scdoc. Like using _groff_ _man_(7) extension macros to set URLs and man page cross references, which would have the advantage of defeating hyphenation where it's not desired. (Also, whatever the generator program is, it should put a *roff comment at the start of the output identifying itself.) Also also, this document might be a good real-world case for attacking bug #67602. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?68326> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
