That is correct. At manpages-l10n we do not see the original syntax but only the "normalized" output as produced by po4a. So kindly translate this back to groff. > > "show extra eth stats (from ethtool)" > > That line now renders in man like this: > > "show extra eth stats (from B<ethtool>(8))" > > I don't think that's wanted. That is exactly as wanted. See man-pages(7) for the traditional formating conventions. > Besides we render htop(1) and friends under "SEE ALSO" also without > any special formatting. Then this should be changed there as well. You can check many other man pages who do. > So I'll make it simply "ethtool(8)". Maybe reconsider this (globally)? Please not that there are tools out there which can identify the B<ethtool>(8) and create appropriate hyperlinks; moreover it is good to spot those links in the text. > > Man page: irqtop.1 > > Issue: enouth → enough > > "enouth" neither is nor ever was in this Debian package. That is correct, that is only present in the version from Fedora 38. Upstream told me, that the man page comes from Debian. Apologies if Fedora is shipping a different man page.

Thanks for pointing this out. Potentially for Fedora the util-linux version is (already) shipped. I'll forward this appropriately. Thanks for checking!
