4a897203bc docs: fix hyphen/minus confusion in manpages
groff treats '-' (the character you get when you hit the "minus" key on
the keyboard) as "hyphen", not as "minus".  Thus it renders incorrectly
in some locales, and line-wraps strangely.

groff treats the two-character sequence "\-" as "minus", and the
four-character sequence "\(hy" as "hyphen".

Details here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/03/msg01481.html

This commit replaces every instance of "-" in our manpages where the
meaning is "minus" with "\-", so it works right.

This fixes many lintian warnings.

733af60863 Allow the user to specify a stepping waveform
Slavko Kocjancic wanted a custom step type for his homemade stepper
driver.  This adds a (single) customizable step waveform.  These
waveforms have the same limitations as the existing ones: up to 5 output
phases, and up to 10 steps per cycle.

ef6035eaf4 there is no need for the 'doublestep' parameter; stepspace=0 on its own is enough. The default remains stepspace=1 (smallest nonzero step space possible) 2007-09-11 13:01:15 +00:00
