Subject: Consistency fixes in util-linux man pages
Date: Sat, 16 May 2020 10:24:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4cb60e3f-0226-e7f0-0052-08a48ea9f425@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello Karel,
Perhaps a little inspired by Helge's recent reports, I wonder about
submitting some wide-ranging patches to improve consistency across
the util-linux manual pages.
As an example, there's quite a bit of variation in the order of
.SH sections in the manual pages (e.g., in the placement of the SEE
ALSO section). The pages would be more readable if the ordering was
more consistent.
Would you entertain patches that made wide-ranging changes
that fixed that sort of thing (without changing page content?
Thanks,
Michael
