I reworded it a bit and gave an example. The mention of TH I left out, since TH doesn't have anything to do with this tag; so far as I can tell, lexgrog doesn't care what you put in the TH header. > - Use parentheses to refer to program names: whatis(1).

Lintian tag descriptions are not manual pages, and adding manpage sections after every mentioned tool just strikes me as visual clutter. (Even in manpages, I think this convention is overused.) Lintian already has an explicit way of adding references to man pages where appropriate, which was already used for lexgrog(1) (which is where the details for this particular tag are). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
