[PATCH 10/19] man/{curs_variables.3x,infocmp.1m}: Drop adjustment reques


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 10/19] man/{curs_variables.3x,infocmp.1m}: Drop adjustment requests.
Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2024 11:46:08 -0500

Drop `na` and `ad` requests, recalling rationale from January revision
of the capability tables in terminfo(5).

'Stop bracketing [material] with requests to [manipulate] adjustment.
This doesn't work as people expect; if a site's local man(7)
configuration turned off adjustment [(with `.na` or `.ad l`, for
instance)], the `ad` request at the end [the bracketed material] would
turn it back on again.  This reënablement of adjustment also frustrates
diffing of man page changes due to changes in adjustment parity.  See
"MKterminfo.sh" ... for the new approach.'

Frustrations with hanging indentations and adjustment were motivating
factors in groff's developments of its `SY` and `YS` extension macros to
the man(7) package in January 2007.
