gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.
commit 0da230cd81eb5dc8b3c37c0060a5c16aa61b64bc
Author: G. Branden Robinson <address@hidden>
Date: Sun Jun 16 00:43:26 2019 +1000
nroff.1.man: Make editorial fixes.
* Emphasize "not" with respect to whitespace in option processing; the
nroff implementation is a shell script that does not use GNU getopt,
thus its argument parsing is unusual compared to the other commands
provided by groff.
* Describe the tabs produced by the "-h" option as "hard", since that
is a possible mnenmonic for the flag.
* Refer to the "old" output scheme as "legacy" (a parallel change to
grotty(1) is forthcoming).
* Indicate the context of the unexplained "SGR" jargon--ISO 6429.
* Recast some wording so it is no longer confusing when the system troff
is GNU troff and thus the @g@ prefix is is not part of the
command name.
