Oh -- I don't really know anything about asciidoc, so please explain
what the problem is.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what the error is. I think I
maintained the same indention as you did?

I wrapped all strings, including those paragraphs that were narrower
than 70 characters, which Emacs uses as the default fill column. The
paragraphs you wrapped are now wrapped slightly differently -- some
because of timeless' language changes, some because I guess you used
another tool and maybe a different fill column?

Does wrapping the narrow paragraphs affect how asciidoc will format
the docbook/manpage? I don't have asciidoc available right now so I
cannot test it myself.
