I have a table that is to wide for the page. I have also redefined the arraystretch to get "more air" (\renewcommand*\arraystretch{1.5}).

How do I split the text (break it into two lines) in the leftmost column and get a nice look on the rest of the table?

Hi!

I have a list that looks like:
\begin{description}
\item[\texttt{-h, -{}-help}]: Display the help message.

Hello!

I am writing a short manual for a program in latex, and would like to use the double dash (--) in the text, but latex convert that to a "En dash"...

\end{description}

Will be that in the future!

Thx for the help!
