Are you using a Windows editor? :) Couple of other points: .Fa is used to mark up function arguments and just takes the name of the argument, not the type. Also, to make translating manpages easier, each sentence begins on a new line. Thus you should do this: This is one sentence. This is another. rather than: This is one sentence. This is another. I hacked up some other parts of the manpage as well. You can find the result at http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/printf.9. There is a also a diff (minus the ^M fix) in the same locaiton as printf9.diff. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
