Thanks, you're right. The unicode characters are introduced in the Markdown->roff conversion. Specifically, go-md2man depends on Blackfriday ( https://github.com/russross/blackfriday) for the actual conversion and, it automatically converts dashs to en-dashs.
I've opened a bug report with go-md2man upstream: https://github.com/cpuguy83/go-md2man/issues/101 On Thu, 7 Sept 2023 at 16:50, Reinhard Tartler <siret...@gmail.com> wrote: > Control: reassign -1 go-md2man-v2 > stop > > Thanks for your report Guy, > > All manpages in podman are written in markdown, and you can review the > sources at > https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/source/Introduction.rst > -- as you can see the sources do not contain any unicode characters. > > I strongly suspect that the unicode characters are introduced via the > go-md2man utility.
