dig man page formatting broken 14.2
by astrogeek from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DD5G)
I am not sure when this was introduced but I have only noticed it after recent updates which included the 240 kernel.
/usr/man/man1/dig.1.gz formatting is badly broken. It appears to be related to this RedHat bug report from 2016. Here they lay blame on the version of docbook-style-xsl used to generate the man page.
A quick search did not turn up anything more recent, which is not to say there is none.
For anyone immediately affected, you can decompress and open the file, globally remove all leading spaces and tabs at beginning of lines and save it.
I suspect there must be a patch but my patch-foo is wanting, or perhaps Pat may adjust the dockbook version.
Apologies if this is already known here, the LQ search is not very useful these days.
