Thanks for reporting these issues.
They should be addressed in the attached.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Man page: rm.1
Issue: FIXME I<> → B<>

"B<--preserve-root>[=I<\\,all\\/>]"

The 'I' is auto generated by help2man and consistent with other uses.
What's the specific issue here?

Well, don't mind if it is autogenerated; usually parameters which are
variables (i.e. can be changed) get a I<>, while parameters which are
fixed strings get a B<>; but again, if it is from help2man than it is
outside your domain.

Pushed.
Marking as done.

thanks again,
Pádraig
