[Bug 288463] New: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign cleanup_digikamdb.1 digitaglinktree.1

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288463

Summary: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign cleanup_digikamdb.1
digitaglinktree.1
Product: digikam
Version: 2.3.0
Platform: Debian unstable
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: [hidden email]
ReportedBy: [hidden email]

Version: 2.3.0 (using KDE 4.7.3)
OS: Linux

These manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was intended. By
default, "-" chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as minus
signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus signs (U+002D), this means
for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot cut and paste options, nor search
for them easily.

"-" must be escaped ("\-") to be interpreted as minus. If you really intend a
hyphen (normally you don't), write it as "\(hy" to emphasise that fact.

If you use some tool that converts your documentation to groff format, this tag
may indicate a bug in the tool. Some tools convert dashes of any kind to
hyphens. The safe way of converting dashes is to convert them to "\-".

Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
