-@itemx --restrict-file-names=none|unix|windows
-Restrict characters that may occur in local file names created by Wget
-from remote URLs. Characters that are considered @dfn{unsafe} under a
-set of restrictions are escaped, i.e. replaced with @samp{%XX}, where
-@samp{XX} is the hexadecimal code of the character.
-
-The default for this option depends on the operating system: on Unix and
-Unix-like OS'es, it defaults to ``unix''. Under Windows and Cygwin, it
-defaults to ``windows''. Changing the default is useful when you are
-using a non-native partition, e.g. when downloading files to a Windows
-partition mounted from Linux, or when using NFS-mounted or SMB-mounted
-Windows drives.
-
-When set to ``none'', the only characters that are quoted are those that
-are impossible to get into a file name---the NUL character and @samp{/}.
-The control characters, newline, etc. are all placed into file names.
-
-When set to ``unix'', additional unsafe characters are those in the
-0--31 range and in the 128--159 range. This is because those characters
-are typically not printable.
-
-When set to ``windows'', all of the above are quoted, along with
-@samp{\}, @samp{|}, @samp{:}, @samp{?}, @samp{"}, @samp{*}, @samp{<},
-and @samp{>}. Additionally, Wget in Windows mode uses @samp{+} instead
-of @samp{:} to separate host and port in local file names, and uses
+@itemx --restrict-file-names=@var{mode}
+Change which characters found in remote URLs may show up in local file
+names generated from those URLs. Characters that are @dfn{restricted}
+by this option are escaped, i.e. replaced with @samp{%HH}, where
+@samp{HH} is the hexadecimal number that corresponds to the restricted
+character.
+
+By default, Wget escapes the characters that are not valid as part of
+file names on your operating system, as well as control characters that
+are typically unprintable. This option is useful for changing these
+defaults, either because you are downloading to a non-native partition,
+or because you want to disable escaping of the control characters.
+
+When mode is set to ``unix'', Wget escapes the character @samp{/} and
+the control characters in the ranges 0--31 and 128--159. This is the
+default on Unix-like OS'es.
+
+When mode is seto to ``windows'', Wget escapes the characters @samp{\},
+@samp{|}, @samp{/}, @samp{:}, @samp{?}, @samp{"}, @samp{*}, @samp{<},
+@samp{>}, and the control characters in the ranges 0--31 and 128--159.
+In addition to this, Wget in Windows mode uses @samp{+} instead of
+@samp{:} to separate host and port in local file names, and uses
