Summary

This change is three fold but I'm willing to split this in parts if necessary.

  • Add a small description before the EXAMPLES that are already in the man page. It is always better to explicitely state what we are trying to show instead of having the user guess what the example is doing. Even for simple cases.
  • Add two more examples to show usage of -s, -t and -f
  • mandoc -Tlint reports irrelevant use of .Tn so remove them since according to mdoc(7) it is there only for compatibility and should not be used in new manuals.

I did not run any atf(7) tests but having a look at the script in test/ I
can't see anything related to the manual page.

Test Plan

mandoc -Tlint ./seq.1 doesn't report any issues
man page renders normally

Mention the including last number and end each description with a colon (:).

seq/seq.1
136

I'd add "(including)" after the 3 to indicate that the last number provided is also part of the resulting output. You might also want to end the sentence with a colon (:).

144

Same here for the 1: (including)

153

If you want, you can make all these descriptions end in a colon (:) for consistency.

Addressing bcr@ comments:

  • Add colon (:) at the end of every description
  • Add (including) to signify this is a closed range at both ends

Great! Thanks for the time spent to review this. Just note that I'm not neither a docs nor a src committer :-)

Do we need to update .Dd?

bcr added a comment.Jun 4 2020, 8:38 AM

Yeah, it can be done by a follow-up commit.

Is this ready to go? Seems a bit confusing the "Needs-review" and the "accepted earlier" badge.

Shouldn't it be inclusive instead of including?

Also, a sequence and a default increment.

The same for other examples as well I think.

161

a custom separator and a custom terminator

170

How about

with an increment of 0.2 and print the results with two digits after the decimal point (using a printf(3)-like format)

Addressing comments by 0mp@:

  • Use of the particle 'a' when necessary
  • Use of 'include' instead of 'including' (I see this is how it is used here)
  • Rephrasing to make example descriptions clearer

I used included as it is used in the Wikipedia article of ISO 31-11

170

I rephrased the text that is much clearer now.

However for the the printf(3)-like, I observe the expression printf(3) style is used before in the man page. Shouldn't we keep it like that for consistency? Also, how can I use .Xr printf 3 and have the -like joined to the previous word? I could only find an example in dialog.3, but it was in the form \fBprintf(3)\fP-like format): which looses the cross-reference.
