Bug#441287: texlive-latex-base: wish "man latex" mentioned the -help option



Package: texlive-latex-base
Version: 2007-10
Severity: wishlist

Hi, I thought it would be helpful if the manpage of latex mentioned
that "latex -help" will give a list of command line options.  Better
still, it would be nice if the list itself is found in the manpage.

Experienced Unix/Linux users expect to find, at the very least,
command line options in the manpage.

Hope this helps.  Regards,
Ryo
