.SH INITIALIZATION FILE
\fBnano\fP will read initialization files in the following
-order: $SYSCONFDIR/nanorc, then ~/.nanorc. Please see nanorc(5) and
-the example file \fBnanorc.sample\fP which should be provided with
+order:
+.IR $SYSCONFDIR/nanorc ,
+then
+.IR ~/.nanorc .
+Please see
+.BR nanorc (5)
+and the example file \fBnanorc.sample\fP which should be provided with
\fBnano\fP.
.SH NOTES
\fBnano\fP will try to dump the buffer into an emergency file in some
cases. Mainly, this will happen if \fBnano\fP receives a SIGHUP or
SIGTERM or runs out of memory, when it will write the buffer into a file
-named "nano.save" if the buffer didn't have a name already, or will add
-a ".save" suffix to the current filename. If an emergency file with that
-name already exists in the current directory, ".save" and a number (e.g.
-".save.1") will be suffixed to the current filename in order to make it
-unique. In multibuffer mode, \fBnano\fP will write all the open buffers
-to the respective emergency files.
