Dear Maintainer,

  Changes in the file xargs/xargs.1:

  \, added between a roman and an italic character (better is to use
macro ".IR" or ".RI").

  \/ added between an italic and a roman character (or use macro ".IR"
or ".RI").

  \- in(side) a compound word (e.g. an option) changed to -
(hyphen-minus, u002D)

  People, that want a special edition for paste-and-cut, can use the
command 'man --ascii', try the command 'info' or the command 'man'
should have an option for emitting the code for 'hyphen-minus' instead
of the (different) code for the minus- or hyphen-glyph.  The
copy-and-pasting uses the code, not the names of glyphs.

  Spelling rules tell us to use a hyphen in a compound word.  Using a
minus is also a fallacy.

  Space between sentences set to two spaces.

  Word "ouptut" changed to
        output

  - changed to \- if it signals an option

  "\ " put between a number and an unit.  These are two words

  (kibibyte(s)) added once after the unit KiB

  \\- changed to - in a compound word (option)

  -- changed to \-\- if it means the first part of an option

  - changed to \(en if it is between two numbers and means a range

  , removed after the last word
