commit ad3900db9e8657e989ae0dcb842e27d5c3fddd55
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Mon Nov 9 22:18:40 2020 +1100
indxbib(1): Make clarifications.
* Tighten wording and align verb tense with rest of page.
* State that field names are 1 char. You could get this from refer(1),
but it helps the example make sense.
* Explain origin of "eign" name since it looks like a typo, or an
abbreviation for something you'd use for characterizing linear spaces.
* Fix which/that error.
