commit 8f2a41eb60c6062a71d6d1e9c91217640f0e710d
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Fri Apr 24 11:46:39 2026 -0500
[ms]: Revise description of `I` macro.
Get the term "slanted" in there since it's frequently used for this
purpose in typesetting contexts. TeX uses the term fairly heavily, and
it's part of groff's mnemonic for the `SS` ("slanted symbol") font of
grops(1) and gropdf(1).
Also break Texinfo input lines in a roff-friendly way.
