commit c630973ca9259296c22e93ec4da6bd2b5989e9f6
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Thu Apr 30 23:29:00 2026 -0500
doc/groff.texi.in: Parallelize wording.
...when discussing untokenized escape sequences. (That's kind of a
misnomer--they get "tokenized" just fine in copy mode.)
* Fix copy-and-paste error.
* Speak of "the formatter", not "GNU troff", when describing generally
applicable *roff behavior.
* Add footnoted forward references to the "Environment" section/node.
