Subject: manpages: args in groups are not separated by vertical bars


Hello!

In manpages, when using 'group' in 'cmdsynopsis', the 'arg's should be 
separated by vertical bars, as tdg says.

Quoting from tdg: "Multiple arguments within a group are considered 
exclusive and are separated by vertical bars."

This is the sample code from the book.

<cmdsynopsis>
   <command>chgrp</command>
   <arg>-R
     <group>
       <arg>-H</arg>
       <arg>-L</arg>
       <arg>-P</arg>
     </group>
   </arg>
   <arg>-f</arg>
   <arg choice='plain'><replaceable>group</replaceable></arg>
   <arg rep='repeat' choice='plain'><replaceable>file</replaceable></arg>
</cmdsynopsis>


The output is the next one.

chgrp [-R [[-H] [-L] [-P]]] [-f] group file...

I think it should be like this one:

chgrp [-R [[-H] | [-L] | [-P]]] [-f] group file...
