New Revision: 356209
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/356209
Log:
Formatting fixes for tables, no content changes.
- Add missing .Pp after the end of some lists so that there is a blank
line before the subsequent paragraph.
- Use a more typical '-tag' bullet list of the make variable descriptions
at the end. This adds separation between bullets and is the formatting
typically used in manpages for this sort of list.
