Hello Attached is a first pass at improving the source of distcc(1). At this point I am only addressing typographical and syntax issues, such as "-" vs. "\-" [1], preventing inappropriate hyphenation, consistent formatting and use of man page conventions, and general readability of the source.
There are a couple of TODO markers still, and I will make a final pass to fully apply conventions such as command names in bold and program suites in italics (underline). After that I will perform similar work on the other man pages. I have only tested the result on Debian Sid which is GNU troff 1.22.2. Feedback as to whether it renders correctly on other systems is appreciated. Also, these files do not contain any Copyright notice or license notice. It is practical to include a source comment at the top like this: .ig Copyright (C) AUTHOR LICENCE BOILERPLATE .. which I will do, but am not sure about the intended license. It seems that these files _may_ have been produced from an earlier SGML version which was GNU Free Documentation License. Is that the preferred license for the man pages? Regards
