commit f968b97b4d48f8857e8fa3f5fc8260eea376f659 Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robin...@gmail.com> AuthorDate: Fri Apr 9 17:20:23 2021 +1000 doc/groff.texi: Fix style nit. Refer to each "read-only string-valued register" consistently as such instead of using a variety of other constructions. ("Read-only" is strictly redundant here because there is no way to assign an arbitrary non-number to a register, but I judge it worth reminding the reader of the point.) --- doc/groff.texi | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------ 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/groff.texi b/doc/groff.texi index 9e6368d..b9fefde 100644 --- a/doc/groff.texi +++ b/doc/groff.texi @@ -6713,7 +6713,8 @@ read-only.
