Description Erec 2025-04-09 15:05:33 UTC 
SUMMARY

Showing man page for SSH in kde help center is misformatted. It seems to increase indent for each listed hyphenated entry...

See -L and -R in the man page for ssh.
-R  [bind_address : ] port : host : hostport 
-R  [bind_address : ] port : local_socket 
-R  remote_socket : host : hostport 
-R  remote_socket : local_socket 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. xdg-open man:ssh
2. scroll down to either -L or -R option

OBSERVED RESULT

each new -R gets indented throwing off the page formatting.

EXPECTED RESULT

-R's are listed as seen in the "man ssh" formatted file with no additional indentations, rather having them listed.

Comment 1 Luigi Toscano 2025-04-09 15:14:12 UTC 
The rendering is done by kio-man, part of kio-extras.

khelpcenter with kio-man from kio-extras 24.12.2

If I understand the issue correctly, I don't see it in a newer build (4:24.12.2-2), see sc

For the bug reporter - can you please confirm if you are seeing what Luigi was seeing in an up-to-date version of KHelpCenter (with up-to-date kio-extras underneath)?
