[groff] 03/06: man pages: Add "\&" after abbreviation periods.


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [groff] 03/06: man pages: Add "\&" after abbreviation periods.
Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2018 09:04:41 -0400 (EDT)

gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit 7e3799362a57db2f5b9ab6c79e7f2a3f2bdcb667
Author: G. Branden Robinson <address@hidden>
Date:   Sun Jun 17 08:34:53 2018 -0400

    man pages: Add "\&" after abbreviation periods.
    
    This is a style fix to prevent undesired end-of-sentence detection in
    the event text reflow ends up with an abbreviation at the end of a line.
