From cd1e7e27f81aad430f0e35c737af03cfc44e4d67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Altmanninger Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2022 07:11:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] kill.1.adoc: clarify syntax of -SIG argument in synopsis kill.1.adoc has this synopsis line *kill* [-signal|*-s* _signal_] For "-signal", the leading "-" should be typed literally, and the "signal" suffix should be replaced by a signal name/number. This means that according to GNU man(1), the "-" should render in bold font whereas the "signal" placeholder should use italic (which terminals often render with underscores). Make it so. Use two askerisks because one is not enough for sub-word markup [*].
