Subject: [PATCH 2/9] doc: split option variants into separate items
Date: Sun, 16 May 2021 23:35:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210517033528.18966-3-kyle@kyleam.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210517033528.18966-1-kyle@kyleam.com>

e226f18934eb7291 modified the lei-q manpage so that each variant of an
option gets a dedicated =item to make L</--xyz> look nicer and to
follow the Perl core documentation.  Do the same for the other
manpages.

Note that this still leaves the variants of an option grouped in one
scenario: when a list of options without descriptions is presented as
a pointer to another location.  Splitting the variants in that case
would make it harder for the reader to tell what the distinct options
are.
