				0mpUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions Shouldn't it be inclusive instead of including? Also, a sequence and a default increment. The same for other examples as well I think. 0mp: Shouldn't it be inclusive //instead// of //including//? Also, //a sequence// and //a default…

				fernapeAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions I rephrased the text that is much clearer now. However for the the printf(3)-like, I observe the expression printf(3) style is used before in the man page. Shouldn't we keep it like that for consistency? Also, how can I use `.Xr printf 3` and have the -like joined to the previous word? I could only find an example in dialog.3, but it was in the form \fBprintf(3)\fP-like format): which looses the cross-reference. fernape: I rephrased the text that is much clearer now.
