|
| Emit "info coreutils 'PROG invocation'" into the man page,
| rather than just "info PROG". The latter would often fail
| or simply display the man page.
| * man/help2man: Change the template.
| Prompted by http://bugs.debian.org/399684
However, the info manual recommends:
| So, there is a convention to name such sections with a phrase
| beginning with the word `Invoking', as in `Invoking Emacs'; this way,
| users can find the section easily.
Maybe the better fix would be renaming all the nodes in coreutils.texi to
comply with this convention?
