# Background: Humans use a number of dash-like characters:
#
# - ASCII hyphen/minus needed for command-line options and other computer
# input;
# - hyphen (`one-to-one');
# - en dash (`2000-2003');
# - em dash -- like this. [Not currently handled.]
#
# Troff input spells them as \-, -, \[en], \[em] respectively. (See the
# groff_char.7 man page for a full list of such punctuation characters.) If
# you run `man' with your LC_CTYPE indicating a rich character set like unicode
# (UTF-8 encoding), then it uses different output characters for each of the
# above.
#
# In particular, if your man page source has plain `-' when giving an example
# of a flag or command or other program input, then users won't be able to use
# mouse copy&paste from the formatted man page.
# This script is something of a hack: it is only big enough to handle a few man
# pages of interest (produced by pod2man). You should manually check the
# changes it makes.
# Approach: we handle each line a word at a time, and typically make the same
# hyphen-vs-ASCII decision throughout the word. We're a bit haphazard about
# word-splitting, but it's hard to find an example of where we'd be hurt by
# that, and by luck we would do the right thing for many gcc options like
# `-fconstant-string-class=\fICLASS-NAME\fR' (where CLASS-NAME should use a
# hyphen and the others should be ASCII hyphen-minus).
#
# Perl's /e (execute) flag for substitutions does just what we want
# for preserving non-word bits while transforming "words".
#
# We don't currently handle special things like `apt-get' that look like
# hyphenated english words but are actually program names. In general the
# problem is AI complete, e.g. `apt-gettable' could be either hyphen (gettable
# by apt) or ASCII hyphen-minus (able to be processed by the `apt-get'
# program).
#
# We don't currently take hints from font choice. (E.g. text in CR font should
# probably use ASCII hyphen-minus.)
#
# We currently only handle a couple troff requests and escapes (see groff.7).
