Subject: [PATCH 8/8] Documentation: option to render literal text as bold for manpages
Message-ID: <1237881866-5497-9-git-send-email-chris_johnsen@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To: <1237881866-5497-1-git-send-email-chris_johnsen@pobox.com>

This allows manpages viewed on a tty to render inline literal
text in a manner that is distinct from the surrounding text.

Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.

Signed-off-by: Chris Johnsen <chris_johnsen@pobox.com>

Since dobcook-xsl 1.74.0 seems to introduce using a monospace
font for literal text (asciidoc backticks), this patch may not be
so important for end users that can install their own
docbook-xsl.

But this patch, or something like it, might be useful for
introducing some kind of typesetting for literal text in the
official manpages (since it would not require upgrading
docbook-xsl). It could probably even be changed/extended to
provide monospacing without using a new docbook-xsl.

The functionality is optional and defaults to "off", so there
probably is not too much harm in including it, even if it is not
used for the official manpages.
