[groff] 03/08: man pages: Don't prefix env variables with "$".


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [groff] 03/08: man pages: Don't prefix env variables with "$".
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2018 15:42:26 -0500 (EST)

gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit 3d82e2c83ccac178fadcb6f2f9c7c6b545fc4cd8
Author: G. Branden Robinson <address@hidden>
Date:   Sun Nov 11 12:32:55 2018 -0500

    man pages: Don't prefix env variables with "$".
    
        * contrib/groffer/groffer.1.man:
        * man/groff_tmac.5.man:
        * src/devices/grotty/grotty.1.man:
        * src/roff/groff/groff.1.man:
        * tmac/groff_trace.7.man: Stop prefixing environment variable
        references with "$" (except where justified by context, like a
        shell command example).  The weight of practice in the groff man
        page corpus is heavily against it.
    
        * contrib/groffer/groffer.1.man: Also stop suppressing the
        hyphenation of "MANOPT" and "PAGER", which won't get hyphenated
        anyway.
