From 69289c5d62caa114a28532d00b8f11b564b43fd4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Bremner Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2022 09:07:13 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] doc: alphabetize options in notmuch-config(1) Originally (I think) these were in the order generated by notmuch setup. As the number of options grows, and several are not in the initial setup generated file, the original order becomes less useful for users. This commit alphabetizes the keys to help users search. There is only one content change, an added cross-reference from user.other_email to user.primary_email. --- doc/man1/notmuch-config.rst | 237 ++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 120 insertions(+), 117 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/man1/notmuch-config.rst b/doc/man1/notmuch-config.rst index 41e1338b..8ddfc1d6 100644 --- a/doc/man1/notmuch-config.rst +++ b/doc/man1/notmuch-config.rst @@ -55,22 +55,19 @@ The available configuration items are described below.
