Bug Description

See near the end of this manpage, an HTML link was wrapped and wrongly " auto linked" :
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/sshmenu.1.html

 The Hacker’s Guide ( http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/dev/hack
        ers_guide.html ) describes a number of ways in which the SSHMenu can be
        further customised.

Thanks for the report, Fabian.

Yeah, that's a nasty one. I'd need a regex, I think, that looks for lines ending in - and join that with the first word of the second line. Easier said than done, though ;-)

I'll confirm it, and try to fix it at some point.

Cheers,
:-Dustin

You might alternatively want to consider just disabling automatic hyphenation. You'd need man-db 2.5.4 to do it, unfortunately, which is pretty new; but with that version you get a --no-hyphenation option to man.
