These options control the layout that WoMan uses to format the man page.
woman-fill-column
¶An integer specifying the right margin for formatted text. Default is 65.
woman-fill-frame
¶A boolean value. If non-nil
then most of the frame width is used,
overriding the value of woman-fill-column
. Default is nil
.
woman-default-indent
¶An integer specifying the default prevailing indent for the -man
macros. Default is 5. Set this variable to 7 to emulate GNU/Linux man
formatting.
woman-bold-headings
¶A boolean value. If non-nil
then embolden section and subsection
headings. Default is t
. [Heading emboldening is not standard
man
behavior.]
woman-ignore
¶A boolean value. If non-nil
then unrecognized requests etc. are
ignored. Default is t
. This gives the standard roff
behavior.
If nil
then they are left in the buffer, which may aid debugging.
woman-preserve-ascii
¶A boolean value. If non-nil
then preserve ASCII characters in the
WoMan buffer. Otherwise, non-ASCII characters (that display as
ASCII) may remain, which is irrelevant unless the buffer is to be
saved to a file. Default is nil
.
woman-emulation
¶WoMan emulation, currently either nroff
or troff
. Default
is nroff
. troff
emulation is experimental and largely
untested.
