This corrects what looks like wrong alignment of some synopsis lines.
(I think the alignment is not a bad idea but it makes us do more
manual work, maybe we can automate that in future. We still need to
figure out how to translate it to HTML.)
"man -l build/user_doc/man/man1/history.1" before:
string match [-a | --all] [-e | --entire] [-i | --ignore-case]
[-r | --regex] [-n | --index] [-q | --quiet] [-v | --invert]
PATTERN [STRING…]
and after:
string match [-a | --all] [-e | --entire] [-i | --ignore-case]
[-r | --regex] [-n | --index] [-q | --quiet] [-v | --invert]
PATTERN [STRING…]
Also make the lines align the same way in the RST source by carefully
choosing the position of the backslash. I'm not sure why we used
two backslashes per line. Use only one; this gives us no choice
of where to put it so both source and man page output are aligned.
Change tabs to spaces to make the alignment in the source work.
This matches the style in man(1) (except that we use the … ligature).
A previous iteration did the reverse (never use a space before the
ellipsis). That would be a smaller change.
If the padding is not divisible by the char's width without remainder,
we pad the remainder with spaces, so the total width of the output is correct.
Also add completions, changelog entry, adjust documentation, add examples
with emoji and some tests. Apply some minor style nitpicks and avoid extra
allocations of the input strings.
