From 8592c95cdfb476dff5c9e18c185289927601236d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Heiduk Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2017 09:22:58 +0200 Subject: doc: clarify syntax for %C(auto,...) in pretty formats The manual correctly describes the syntax with `auto,` but the trailing `,` is hard to spot in a terminal. The HTML format does not have this problem. Adding an example helps both worlds.
