in repository groff.

commit 690e4059d73e6226b29a0de35cccdb6fbbfca65d
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Mon Nov 9 21:38:49 2020 +1100

    gxditview(1): Recast for clarity and grammar.
    
    * Reorder discussion of what sorts of intermediate output can be viewed
      for clarity.
    * Use better demonstrative pronoun.
    * Append suffix to man page in example to make it (perhaps) clearer that
      a real file name is meant, not a search keyword like man(1)
      technically accepts.
    * Drop spurious word in "as be".
    * Clarify distinction between menu item labels and actions.
    * Use indefinite article to introduce a new action not bound to a menu
      item.
