[Bug-tar] [PATCH] doc/tar.1: typesetting and spelling fixes


From: Kir Kolyshkin
Subject: [Bug-tar] [PATCH] doc/tar.1: typesetting and spelling fixes
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:16:20 -0700

I noticed that -I option of tar(1) man page was not typeset
properly: only the dash was typeset in bold, while I was not.

Looking into the man page source revealed a few similar cases,
plus a few times when \fB was not coupled with \fR when needed.

Also, there was a typo (s/formate/format).

Finally, a case when \fI was missing I so the next character
(N) was interpreted as a font name rather than a literal.
