commit 64c9eafb7ace1fcad86249996dbf3ec64093ccfb
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Mon Jan 12 09:06:39 2026 -0600
groff_mm(7): Fix style nits.
* Simplify references to DWB 3.3 mm as just "DWB". That we're speaking
only of its mm macro package is implied by context, and no exceptions
are observed.
* Fix missing plural.
* Tighten wording.
