If zero (the default), text is adjusted to +the left margin only -- producing what is traditionally called +"ragged-right" text. + + +The default value for this parameter is zero because justified +text looks good only when it is also hyphenated. Without hyphenation, +excessive amounts of space often end up getting between words, in +order to "pad" lines out to align on the right margin. + +The problem is that groff is not particularly smart about how it +does hyphenation; it can end up hyphenating a lot of things that you +don't want hyphenated. So, disabling both justification and +hyphenation ensures that hyphens won't get inserted where you don't +want to them, and you don't end up with lines containing excessive +amounts of space between words. + +However, if do you decide to set a non-zero value for the +man.justify parameter (to enable +justification), then you should probably also set a non-zero value for +man.hyphenate (to enable hyphenation). + +Yes, these default settings run counter to how most existing man +pages are formatted. But there are some notable exceptions, such as +the perl man pages. + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
