Heinz Mauelshagen	36cac41115	man-generator/man/help: simplify hyphen escaping ... Commits a29bb6a14b ... 5c199d99f4 narrowed down on addressing the escaping of hyphens in the dynamic creation of manuals whilst avoiding them in creating help texts. This lead to a sequence of slipping through hyphens adrressed by additional patches in aforementioned commit series. On the other hand, postprocessing dynamically man-generator created and statically provided manuals catches all hyphens in need of escaping. Changes: - revert the above commits whilst keeping man-generator streamlining and the detection of any '\' when generating help texts in order to avoid escapes to slip in - Dynamically escape hyphens in manaual pages using sed(1) in the respective Makefile targets - remove any manually added escaping on hyphens from any static manual sources or headers	2017-03-27 16:49:39 +02:00

Alasdair G Kergon	ca905681cc	man: Revise internal man page generation process. ... For each section 8 man page, a .8_gen file is created from one of: .8_main - Old-style man page - content used directly .8_des and .8_end - Description and end section of a generated page .8_pregen - Pre-generated page used if the generator fails Other man sections are not generated and use the suffix .5_main or .7_main. Developers should use 'make generate' to regenerate the .8_pregen files.	2017-03-14 00:47:46 +00:00
