man: use meaningful titles for <ulink>s
As pointed out in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/29814, we need to use phrases are are meaningful on their own, because the man page formatter creates a list at the bottom. With <ulink>see docs</ulink>, we end up with: NOTES: 1. see docs https://some.url/page 2. see docs https://some.url/page2 which is not very useful :( Also, the text inside the tag should not include punctuation. Python helper: from xml_helper import xml_parse for p in glob.glob('../man/*.xml'): t = xml_parse(p) ulinks = t.iterfind('.//ulink') for ulink in ulinks: if ulink.text is None: continue text = ' '.join(ulink.text.split()) print(f'{p}: {text}')
