The space between sentences in "roff" is two spaces. Better is to begin each sentence on a new line to avoid different writers' conventions. Begin each subordinate clause on a new line for the benefits of patches.

This makes it easier to see the effect of patches, which often operate at the level of individual sentences." 2) groff_diff(7) in package "groff": "In GNU troff, as in UNIX troff, you should always follow a sentence with either a newline or two spaces." 3) "info groff": Search for the word "sentence" in the output to get more hints about input conventions. 35:backwards from the end of the file i.e. +-1 will be the last 64:throwaway; i.e. the user will not be prompted to save changes when 425:words; i.e. convert the first character of the word to 550:Invoke an extended command; i.e. M-x. 593:Unbind a key from the global (fundamental) key map; i.e. set it to 'rescan'. 756:Insert the next character verbatim into the current buffer; i.e. ignore 1043:represents the name of the terminal type; e.g. if the terminal type ##### Test nr. 30: Surround a block of comments with the macros ".ig" and "..".
