commit 440df280ed50d781b4b0d5a59c9371be5a695c0e
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Thu Mar 27 04:42:55 2025 -0500
groff_diff(7): Fix style and consistency nits.
* Fix inconsistent use of metasyntactic variable name.
* Parallelize wording of changes unifying `lf`, `pi`, `so`, and `sy`
syntax, with `ds`, taking care to record only _changes_ in behavior.
(`pi` and `sy` read the rest of the input line even in AT&T troff.)
