Subject: [PATCH] doc: clarify syntax for %C(auto,...) in pretty formats
Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2017 09:22:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170624072258.6832-1-asheiduk@gmail.com> (raw)

The change actually adds only 

	(e.g. `%C(auto,red)`)

but reflowing the paragraph blows it up a little.

-------- 8< --------
The manual correctly describes the syntax with `auto,` but the
trailing `,` is hard to spot in a terminal.  The HTML format does not
have this problem.  Adding an example helps both worlds.
