-OPERATIONS
+Operations
 ----------
--A, --add (deprecated)::
+*-A, --add* (deprecated)::
 	Add a package to the system. Either a URL or file path can be specified.
 	The package will be uncompressed into the installation root and the
 	database will be updated. The package will not be installed if another
 	version is already installed. *NOTE*: please use `--upgrade` in place of
 	this option.
 
--F, --freshen::
+*-F, --freshen*::
 	This is like `--upgrade` except it will only upgrade packages already
 	installed on the system.
 
--Q, --query::
+*-Q, --query*::
 	Query the package database. This operation allows you to view installed
 	packages and their files, as well as meta-information about individual
 	packages (dependencies, conflicts, install date, build date, size). This
 	can be run against the local package database or can be used on
 	individual `.tar.gz` packages. See <<QO,Query Options>> below.
 
--R, --remove::
+*-R, --remove*::
 	Remove a package from the system. Files belonging to the specified
 	package will be deleted, and the database will be updated. Most
 	configuration files will be saved with a `.pacsave` extension unless the
 	`--nosave` option is used. See <<RO,Remove Options>> below.
 
--S, --sync::
+*-S, --sync*::
 	Synchronize packages. Packages are installed directly from the ftp
 	servers, including all dependencies required to run the packages. For
 	example, `pacman -S qt` will download and install qt and all the
 	packages it depends on. You can also use `pacman -Su` to upgrade all
 	packages that are out of date. See <<SO,Sync Options>> below.
 
--U, --upgrade::
+*-U, --upgrade*::
 	Upgrade or add a package to the system. Either a URL or file path can be
 	specified. This is a "remove-then-add" process. See
 	<<HCF,Handling Config Files>> for an explanation on how
 	pacman takes care of config files.
 
--V, --version::
+*-V, --version*::
 	Display version and exit.
 
--h, --help::
+*-h, --help*::
 	Display syntax for the given operation. If no operation was supplied
 	then the general syntax is shown.

+*--ask* <'number'>::
 	Pre-specify answers to questions. It is doubtful whether this option
 	even works, so I would not recommend using it. *TODO*: document this
 	more, as I have no idea how it works or when you would use it, or if we
 	should just dump it.
 
--b, --dbpath <path>::
+*-b, --dbpath* <'path'>::
 	Specify an alternative database location (default is `/var/lib/pacman`).
 	This should not be used unless you know what you are doing.
 
--d, --nodeps::
+*-d, --nodeps*::
 	Skips all dependency checks. Normally, pacman will always check a
 	package's dependency fields to ensure that all dependencies are
 	installed and there are no package conflicts in the system.
 
--f, --force::
+*-f, --force*::
 	Bypass file conflict checks and overwrite conflicting files. If the
 	package that is about to be installed contains files that are already
 	installed, this option will cause all those files to be overwritten.
 	This option should be used with care, ideally not at all.
 
--r, --root <path>::
+*-r, --root* <'path'>::
 	Specify an alternative installation root (default is `/`). This should

 	Output more status messages, such as the Root and DBPath.

+*--config* <'file'>::
 	Specify an alternate configuration file.

 	Bypass any and all "Are you sure?" messages. It's not a good idea to do
 	this unless you want to run pacman from a script.

 	Do not show a progress bar when downloading files. This can be useful

 Query Options[[QO]]
 -------------------
--c, --changelog::
+*-c, --changelog*::
 	View the ChangeLog of a package. Not every package will provide one but
 	it will be shown if available.
 
--e, --orphans::
+*-e, --orphans*::
 	List all packages that were pulled in by a previously installed package
 	but no longer required by any installed package.
 
--g, --groups::
+*-g, --groups*::
 	Display all packages that are members of a named group. If not name is
 	specified, list all grouped packages.
 
--i, --info::
+*-i, --info*::
 	Display information on a given package. The `-p` option can be used if
 	querying a package file instead of the local database.
 
--l, --list::
+*-l, --list*::
 	List all files owned by a given package. Multiple packages can be
 	specified on the command line.
 
--m, --foreign::
+*-m, --foreign*::
 	List all packages that were not found in the sync database(s). Typically
 	these are packages that were downloaded manually and installed with
 	`--upgrade`.
 
--o, --owns <file>::
+*-o, --owns* <'file'>::
 	Search for the package that owns file.
 
--p, --file::
+*-p, --file*::
 	Signifies that the package supplied on the command line is a file and
 	not an entry in the database. The file will be decompressed and queried.
 	This is useful in combination with `--info` and `--list`.
 
--s, --search <regexp>::
+*-s, --search* <'regexp'>::
 	This will search each locally-installed package for names or
 	descriptions that matche regexp.
 
--u, --upgrades::
+*-u, --upgrades*::
 	Lists all packages that are out of date on the local system. This option
 	works best if the sync database is refreshed using `-Sy`.
 
 
 Remove Options[[RO]]
 --------------------
--c, --cascade::
+*-c, --cascade*::
 	Remove all target packages, as well as all packages that depend on one
 	or more target packages. This operation is recursive.

+*-k, --keep*::
 	Removes the database entry only. Leaves all files in place.
 
--n, --nosave::
+*-n, --nosave*::
 	Instructs pacman to ignore file backup designations. Normally, when a
 	file is removed from the system the database is checked to see if the
 	file should be renamed with a .pacsave extension.
 
--s, --recursive::

 	Remove each target specified including all dependencies, provided that

--c, --clean::
+*-c, --clean*::
 	Remove old packages from the cache to free up disk space. When pacman
 	downloads packages, it saves them in `/var/cache/pacman/pkg`. Use one
 	`--clean` switch to remove old packages; use two to remove all packages
 	from the cache.
 
--e, --dependsonly::

 	Install all dependencies of a package, but not the specified package
 	itself. This is pretty useless and we're not sure why it even exists.
 
--g, --groups::

 	Display all the members for each package group specified. If no group
 	names are provided, all groups will be listed; pass the flag twice to
 	view all groups and their members.

 	Display dependency and other information for a given package. This will
 	search through all repositories for a matching package.

 	List all packages in the specified repositories. Multiple repositories
 	can be specified on the command line.

 	Download a fresh copy of the master package list from the server(s)
 	defined in pacman.conf. This should typically be used each time you use
