Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

  Warning from "groff":

<gftodvi.1>:63 (macro BR): only 1 argument, but more are expected

Output is from: test-groff -b -e -mandoc -T utf8 -rF0 -t -w w -z 

  [ "test-groff" is a developmental version of "groff" ]

  The patch is in the attachment.

####

  Summary of changes:

Add a missing italic correction (or use a macro).

Add a space character between sentences to make them two (or begin each
sentence on a new line).

Change a two-fonts macro to an one-font macro with a singular argument.

Protect '.' if not end of sentence by adding '\&'.

###

  Details:

Test nr. 41:

Wrong distance between sentences or protect the indicator.

1) Separate the sentences and subordinate clauses; each begins on a new
line.  See man-pages(7) [package "manpages"] and "info groff".

Or

2) Adjust space between sentences (two spaces),

3) or protect the indicator by adding "\&" after it.

The "indicator" is an "end-of-sentence character" (.!?).
