Follow-up Comment #7, bug #57025 (project findutils):
thanks for the suggestions.
1st: ".BI" doesn't work well. And IMO it bloats that sentence
with the "(...)" which disturbs the easy reading.
I played a bit with something like this:
.IP "\-amin \fI-n\fR|\fI+n\fR|\fIn\fR"
which compiles as
-amin -n|+n|n
i.e., leaving the explaining sentence as in my previous proposal,
and adding the alternatives more prominently to the option item itself.
I'm not sure this is valid syntax though.
2nd: hmm, rounding is indeed a little trap for the user. But I think
repeating a description in all places (-ctime, -mtime, -atime) is not
ideal either. One place - and a reference to it in the other option's
descriptions - is enough.
3rd: I agree, that part of the Texinfo manual should stay/get in sync with the
man page.
