It probably means what it says. You can format man pages with a variable number of characters per line, hence you might have "(setq Man-width 75)" in your ~/.emacs to get a reasonably formatted display rather than one with the lines being too long for comfortable reading. Now say, you specify zero characters per line, and the software may suddenly have a hard time adjusting the lines. -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
