troff/nroff Q; how to put a linebreak in a tag labeled lists item
For a program I'm putting together, I've several flags that have both a positive and negative form (e.g. --foo, --no-foo) for things that are not implicitly set by other options. Each pair of options is done in both these forms + their corresponding short options where available. Each of which is described in a single paragraph, but I'm having trouble formatting the options.
Code:
.Sh OPTIONS .Bl -tag -width indent .\" The item in question .It Cm --interactive, -i Cm --non-interactive, -b paragraph describing the options .\" other options, several of which are like the above .El Code:
OPTIONS --interactive, -i --non-interactive, -b paragraph describing the options Code:
--interactive, -i --non-interactive, -b paragraph describing the options Code:
.It Cm --interactive, -i Pp Cm --non-interactive, -b paragraph describing the options --interactive, -i paragraph describing the options I haven't been able to find anything by searching the web or in the mdoc(7) manual page. Before I end up splitting them up into separate list items, does anyone know how I might be able to do this?
