A minus sign is larger, easier to see in a printout, and more likely to use the same glyph as ASCII hyphen-minus in a terminal than a hyphen. Since broken manual pagers do not find hyphens when the user searches for a hyphen-minus, minus signs are also easier to search for. So use minus signs instead of hyphens to render sample terminal output.
