Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Mon Jun 1 23:45:01 2020 +1000
ChangeLog: Add entries for documentation fixes.
Corrections to erroneous material in the documentation meet the
threshold of changeloggability (cf. organizational and style fixes to
the docs).
Also clarify what was being fixed with commit
c3047d8f5881e21cf4f09c13d88106c71aa25004 (assertion failure on bad
input).

+ Correct and clarify point size documentation.
+
+ The Texinfo manual has long documented the request '.ps 0' as
+ restoring the previous point size (just as '\s0' or '.ps' with
+ no argument does), but this is incorrect, since groff 1.02 or
+ earlier (June 1991), the request has not actually worked this
+ way. Instead, '.ps 0' sets the point size to 1 basic unit
+ {though output drivers may clamp this to a higher value}. This
+ behavior is consistent with Hierloom troff and, per Ingo
+ Schwarze, Plan 9 troff. (It is, however, not consistent with
+ neatroff.)
+
+ * doc/groff.texi (Changing Type Sizes): Stop claiming that '.ps
+ 0' works like '\s0'. Note that the resulting (computed) point
+ size, not the argument, is clamped. Note that it is
+ non-positive, not negative, point sizes that are clamped to 1u.
+ Add (forward) cross-reference to section where \n[.ps] is
+ defined since it is mentioned here. Move explanation of special
+ handling of zero argument to \s escape description.
+
+ * man/groff.7.man: Explain .ps N independently of \s. Note
+ clamping behavior.
