Just added a small section to DOCS/tech/manpage.txt that explains it:

    - Put a backslash before a '-' if it denotes a range (1\-10), an option
      (\-fs) or a dash (mplayer  \- Movie Player for Linux).
      Use just '-' if it is a hyphen (A-V) or a minus (-1).

Hmm, it should also be \-dvd-device etc, this is not completely clear,
I'll add it.
