I've tried to normalize some of the restructured text to make it a bit more regular. several of the synopsis lines are still untouched by this cleanup, but i'm not sure what the right way to represent those is in .rst, actually. In particular find that if i rebuild the manpages, sometimes i end up with some of the synopsis lines showing – (U+2013 EN DASH) where they should have -- (2 × U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS) in the generated nroff output, though i have not tracked down the source of this error yet. --- diff --git a/doc/man1/notmuch-address.rst b/doc/man1/notmuch-address.rst index c00d7d74..12d86e89 100644 --- a/doc/man1/notmuch-address.rst +++ b/doc/man1/notmuch-address.rst @@ -32,8 +32,8 @@ Supported options for **address** include ``--output=(sender|recipients|count|address)`` Controls which information appears in the output.
