<para>Specifies the maximum permitted length of the
|
||
<literal>extra2</literal> part of the man-page part of the
|
||
<literal>.TH</literal> title line header/footer. If the
|
||
<literal>extra2</literal> content exceeds the maxiumum specified, it
|
||
is truncated down to the maximum permitted length.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The content of the <literal>extra2</literal> field is usually
|
||
displayed in the left footer of the page and is typically "source"
|
||
data indicating the software system or product that the item
|
||
documented in the man page belongs to, often in the form
|
||
<replaceable>Name</replaceable> <replaceable>Version</replaceable>;
|
||
for example, "GTK+ 1.2" (from the <literal>gtk-options(7)</literal>
|
||
man page).</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The default value for this parameter is reasonable but somewhat
|
||
arbitrary. If you are processing pages with long "source" information,
|
||
you may want to experiment with changing the value in order to achieve
|
||
the correct aesthetic results.</para>
