5.2 Formatting Options
======================
These options control the layout that WoMan uses to format the man page.
‘woman-fill-column’
An integer specifying the right margin for formatted text. Default
is 65.
‘woman-fill-frame’
A boolean value. If non-‘nil’ then most of the frame width is
used, overriding the value of ‘woman-fill-column’. Default is
‘nil’.
‘woman-default-indent’
An integer specifying the default prevailing indent for the ‘-man’
macros. Default is 5. Set this variable to 7 to emulate GNU/Linux
man formatting.
‘woman-bold-headings’
A boolean value. If non-‘nil’ then embolden section and subsection
headings. Default is ‘t’. [Heading emboldening is _not_ standard
‘man’ behavior.]
‘woman-ignore’
A boolean value. If non-‘nil’ then unrecognized requests etc. are
ignored. Default is ‘t’. This gives the standard ‘roff’ behavior.
If ‘nil’ then they are left in the buffer, which may aid debugging.
‘woman-preserve-ascii’
A boolean value. If non-‘nil’ then preserve ASCII characters in
the WoMan buffer. Otherwise, non-ASCII characters (that display as
ASCII) may remain, which is irrelevant unless the buffer is to be
saved to a file. Default is ‘nil’.
‘woman-emulation’
WoMan emulation, currently either ‘nroff’ or ‘troff’. Default is
‘nroff’. ‘troff’ emulation is experimental and largely untested.
