commit 2ee2b2dc313b5743673617eb0495ab1d45fee569
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robin...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Wed Jul 23 12:11:44 2025 -0500
groff_diff(7): Fix content and style nits.
Content:
* Present `.height` register's units and meaning of a zero value.
* The stroke and fill colors are properties of the environment.
* Continue terminological migration to "typographical points" instead of
"points as a decimal fraction".
* Continue terminological migration to "warning mask" instead of
"warning mode".
* Advise use of `\Z` with drawing commands.
* Parallelize use of term "composite character mappings" with our
Texinfo manual and groff(7).
Style:
* Delete stray parenthesis.
* Use preterite, not past participle, as verb form.
* Favor active voice over passive.
