Hi,
help2man produces spurious blank newlines if you indented the --help
text like this:
--sort=WORD extension -X, none -U, size -S, time -t,
version -v
status -c, time -t, atime -u, access -u, use -u
The output that help2man produces ends up looking like this:
--sort=WORD
extension -X, none -U, size -S, time -t, version -v
status -c, time -t, atime -u, access -u, use -u
Or if you have,
--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir
follow each command line symbolic link
that points to a directory
then you get
--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir
follow each command line symbolic link
that points to a directory
Indenting the --help string in this was is very useful, since it makes
it easier to read. Could someone take a look at this?
All this was produced using Coreutils 5.2.1.
Thanks.
