Re: [Patch] Adding examples to the man pages

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert]

Hi Paul,
  So adding the following to basename.c gets me a passable entry in
the manpage:

      fputs (_("\
Examples:\n\
   basename /usr/foo/lossage/functions.l     returns functions.l\n\
   basename /usr/foo/lossage/functions.l .l  returns functions\n\
   basename functions.lisp p                 returns functions.lis\n\
\n\
"), stdout);

(These examples were actually in a comment at the top of basename.c)

But help2man hasn;t done any bold/italicising of the parameters;
I guess that is OK, but it is not particularly nice and doesn't
follow the recommendations for man pages.  Is there something
I'm missing to get help2man to do a nicer job?

Dave
