- Don't forget the quotation marks around expressions, etc...
- Each new sentence should start on a line of its own.
- Put a backslash before a '-' if it denotes a range (1\-10), an option
(\-fs), stdin (\-) or a dash (mplayer \- movie player).
Use just '-' if it is a hyphen (A-V) or a minus (-1). Please note that
it should be \-dvd-device and not \-dvd\-device.
- There is a typographical difference between a hyphen, a minus and an
en-dash or em-dash. For the man page this means that you should put a
backslash before a '-' if it denotes a range (1\-10), an option (\-fs),
stdin (\-), a dash (mplayer \- movie player) or a minus (-1). Use just
'-' if it is a hyphen (A-V).
- Don't start a line with "'" or ".", nroff treats them specially.
- To quickly check a manual page for markup errors, just run
man DOCS/man/XX/mplayer.1 > /dev/null
