But, the picalib manpage won't really have configuration file format descriptions. I mean, they're more like some sort of "plugins" or pre-cooked functionality. In fact, they're configuration file snippets to be *included* in the main configuration files. As I understand it, section 5 contains file format descriptions. Or I'm wrong? According to the FHS: ------ The formats for many data files are documented in the section 5. This includes various include files, program output files, and system files. [...] Manual pages that are difficult to classify are designated as being section 7. The troff and other text processing macro packages are found here. ------ I suppose one can think of the picalib modules as macros or something, and that section 8 is not appropriate because picalib is not a command. -- Esteban Manchado Velázquez <zoso*demiurgo*org> - http://www.demiurgo.org No software patents in Europe! - freepatents.org - proinnova.hispalinux.es Join Amnesty International - http://www.amnesty.org/actnow PD: I'm subscribed to the list, you don't have to CC me.
