Ok, thanks. Updated version with the documentation fixes (the empty lines
were intentional, I find they enhance readability).

Yes, a generic solution would be nice in the long run.

 @item -force_key_frames[:@var{stream_specifier}] @var{time}[, at var{time}...] (@emph{output,per-stream})
 Force key frames at the specified timestamps, more precisely at the first
 frames after each specified time.
+If one of the times is "@code{chapters}[@var{delta}]", it is expanded into
+the time of the beginning of all chapters in the file, shifted by
+ at var{delta}.
 This option can be useful to ensure that a seek point is present at a
 chapter mark or any other designated place in the output file.
-The timestamps must be specified in ascending order.
+
+For example, to insert a key frame at 5 minutes, plus key frames 0.1 second
+before the beginning of every chapter:

+-force_key_frames 0:05:00,chapters-0.1
