- normal
When running "man notify-send", here's how it looks like (the beginning
at least):
```
NOTIFY-SEND(1) User Commands NOTIFY-SEND(1)
.SH "NAME" notify-send - a program to send desktop notifications
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP 288u
```
I don't have sufficient experience to know why the xslt man page generator is
indenting the output, but this is what is causing the dot directives to be
interpreted literally (e.g. .SH).
A simple work-around would be to post-filter the output:
zcat /usr/share/man/man1/notify-send.1.gz |
sed 's/^ *//; /^\.HP .*notify/d' |
man -l -
seems sufficiently readable.
