From 510aef98a56cdbfdb147f78b05d7554bb91770a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2008 12:48:48 +0200 Subject: manpages: consistent syntax In the manpages, bold is used to denote characters the user has to enter verbatim, italic denotes placeholders and non-highlighted pieces are used as a structure: "[]" specifying an optional part, "{}" a mandatory part, with "|" used for alternations. The "!" for negation is better supported before the option than after it, too. The patch makes a few files consistent with this style already used in manpages. --- extensions/libxt_string.man | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'extensions/libxt_string.man') diff --git a/extensions/libxt_string.man b/extensions/libxt_string.man index 3f3e5b79..9e3b25c6 100644 --- a/extensions/libxt_string.man +++ b/extensions/libxt_string.man @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ This modules matches a given string by using some pattern matching strategy.
