is there a way to drop down a single line (and add a tab) in a man section defined in an extended getopts text?
e.g. the traditional way to format an EXAMPLES section seems to be command -xyz 1 foo descriptive text (with the example itself in bold) but i can't figure out how to do that from a [+name?text] group e.g. in ~ :) % /bin/cat ./foo.ksh #!/usr/bin/env ksh while getopts $'[-][+EXAMPLES?\bcommand -xyz 1 foo\b\ndescriptive text]' opt do : done ~ :) % ksh --version version sh (AT&T Research) 93u 2011-02-08 ~ :( % ./foo.ksh --man EXAMPLES command -xyz 1 foo descriptive text SYNOPSIS ./foo.ksh [ options ] ~ :( % the newline and the tab disappear (when i use --??nroff and generate a typeset manpage, the bold comes out correctly) -- Aaron Davies aaron.dav...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list ast-users@lists.research.att.com http://lists.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
