The syntax --output=filename is a smaller change than deleting the
output argument completely, and conceivably useful e.g. when running
notmuch under a debugger.
The NAME section in manpages generally doesn't start with capital
letter (unless the word is 'proper noun') and doesn't end with
period. Notmuch manual pages now matches that "format".
These functions are enough different in their behavior that it's not
really worth it to combine them. They overlap in the format of the
dump file, but we can have a separate page that describes the dump
format, and either reference it or include it. This also keeps things
nice and clean with one page per command.
- Replace references to section X below with page refences.
- Add SEE ALSO to each page. This is a bit error prone, because each
SEE ALSO section is different, i.e. a page does not refer to itself.
Fix some problems with indentation (controlled by markup) and
whitespace.
- notmuch.1: reformat
Use .SS macro to make "notmuch setup" a subsection. Introduce another
subsection for the remaining commands.
- notmuch-config.1: reformat
Put all the syntax in the synopsis. Supposedly this is the the UNIX way.
- notmuch-reply.1: fix formatting issues.
Give nicer formatting for synopsis.
Insert missing SEE ALSO header.
- notmuch-dump.1: reformat using subsections
These seems more natural, although, as mentioned, it does require
referring back to the synopsis. Or maybe copying parts of the
synopsis
We mostly just cut and paste the command descriptions into individual
files, with a short header added to each one.
The splitting into subdirectories is to support the use of ./man as an
element in MANPATH, e.g. for testing.
