Bug Description

forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=562827

The manual page reads:

  OPTIONS
       -f [format of paste] (used for syntax-highlighting, default: text)

The "format of paste" is vague. Please list all the accepted values in
addition to listed "text".

my comment: the accepted values are dependent on the pastebin used. The manpage should mention this. I guess we can also list commonly accepted values.

The manpage currently mentions that all options are site-specific and that some may not be available.
I now added a comment for the format parameter saying that the user should check the pastebin's website for valide values.
