commit 69407e308fca565783cfedfb7f317da9dbb5cac7
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Sat Aug 30 03:01:06 2025 -0500
doc/*,man/*: Recast basic material on sentences.
* Explicitly name requests of interest.
* Favor imperative mood over declarative when being didactic.
* Sync formatter-specific material on `cflags` and `ss` from Texinfo to
groff(7) man page; since it deals with GNU troff innovations, it's not
suitable for the fundamental stuff in roff(7).
* doc/groff.texi.in: Bump document revision date.
