From de613050efec781e8380a0267879a25b2d489513 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Robert P. J. Day" Date: Thu, 24 May 2018 16:11:39 -0400 Subject: Use proper syntax for replaceables in command docs The standard for command documentation synopses appears to be: [...] means optional <...> means replaceable [<...>] means both optional and replaceable So fix a number of doc pages that use incorrect variations of the above.
