Subject: manual page - unclear option syntax definitions
Perl: This is perl, v5.10.0 built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi OS : Debian/testing Cf : http://bugs.debian.org/550248 Package: pod2pdf Version: 0.42-1 Severity: minor Manual page reads: perldoc -u File::Find | pod2pdf [options] >File-Find.pdf Options pod2pdf accepts the following command-line options: "--output-file" Sets the output filename for the generated PDF file. By default pod2pdf will output to STDOUT. "--page-size" Sets the page size to be used in the PDF file, can be set to any of the standard paper sizes (A4, A5, Letter, etc). Defaults to A4. ... Many of these options take arguments, but this isn't expressed in the option syntax. The options are also presented inside quotes, which is not typical to manual pages. SUGGESTION Please add arguments to the options, make the options appear inbold, and remove the quoting. An example: --output-file FILENAME Sets the output FILENAME for the generated PDF file. By default pod2pdf will output to STDOUT. --page-size TYPE Sets the page size TYPE to be used in the PDF file, can be set to any of the standard paper sizes. The TYPE can be A4, A5, Letter, etc. Default value is A4. ...
