[PATCH 02/17] man/curs_addch.3x: Recast discussion of "TABSIZE".


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 02/17] man/curs_addch.3x: Recast discussion of "TABSIZE".
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 13:09:36 -0500

Style:
* Set "curses" in italics when referring to the library (contrast the
  name of the standard, which is upright and capitalized).
* Capitalize "Curses" in "X/Open Curses".
* Drop superfluous "for more details" language after "see" cross
  reference.
* Favor active voice over passive.

Markup:
* Prefer man(7) font style macros over *roff font selection escape
  sequences, except for man page cross references (because
  man/make_sed.sh only recognizes certain patterns when rewriting such
  cross references).
* Break input lines after commas.
