gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit 15b5fb8aade8b1f90b324eec2d5c1132a49b899d

    pdfroff(1): Lightly recast.
    
    * Say "identifier" intsead of ID.
    * (See also) Add our Texinfo manual.  I was a little puzzled by the
      reference to groff(1) as "the definitive reference to document
      formatting" with groff, since IMO that characterization covers a lot
      more than just driving the front end.  Recast in what I hope is a
      helpful direction.
