Hello!

On the page at http://www.nongnu.org/oath-toolkit/oathtool.1.html 
<http://www.nongnu.org/oath-toolkit/oathtool.1.html> there are several 
examples. Copying/pasting these, at least from Firefox on a Mac, into a 
terminal fails for many of them, giving errors like "oathtool: hex decoding of 
secret key failed”.

This is because on the web page the dashes in arguments such as “—totp” are 
actually unicode minus signs, U+2212, instead of ASCII dash (0x2d) which is 
what the program expects.

PS: the same problem occurs in the email address for 
oath-toolkit-help@nongnu.org <mailto:oath-toolkit-help@nongnu.org> at the 
bottom of that page.
