Author: rodrigc Date: Wed Jan 27 02:38:10 2010 New Revision: 203055 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/203055 Log: Partial merge of man page cleanups from NetBSD: revision 1.91 Fri Nov 7 01:01:46 2003 UTC by lukem Add some subsections in the VARIABLE ASSIGNMENTS section. In the "modifier description" list, show each modifier with the leading `:'. Rationale: it's hard to search for modifiers without it, and we already do the same thing in the -options and .makecommands lists. I now find it much easier to find the description for a modifier in the man page.
