I decided to use .Ql instead. It makes the double dash more obvious when reading through the text, and after all, they are not really .Flags to the getopt program at all (but to the consumer of the produced string, presumably a shell). I've also corrected the other usage errors of mdoc. Seems the author of that page did a quick hack in converting it from -man to -mdoc format, without taking the time to understand the mdoc stuff... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
