I guess I'm too case-sensitive. :p As ceri@freebsd.org (Ceri Davies) has already mentioned, the preferred way is to reword parts of the sentence, as charnier@freebsd.org (Philippe Charnier) has been doing for a lot of the manpages until now. That is, instead of starting a sentence with the name of a program capitalized, as in: .Nm Ls will do ... He changes the text, to read: The .Nm utility will do ... Which avoids the problem of starting the sentence with the capitalized name :-) - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
