[Pkg-lyx-devel] escaping the - in man.lyx

[Sven Hoexter]

Hi *,
here is another patch I've found in the Debian LyX package you maybe
would like to apply to the LyX source tree.
In manpages all "-" should be escaped with "\-" to force a proper handling.

The attached patch has been created against the current 1.4.x branch.

Sven
