commit 7784472bf820c608c6c8da10c5662f959a3eba8f
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Tue Jul 20 16:01:47 2021 +1000
troff(1): Fix style and content nits.
* (Options) <-C>: Clarify what compatibility mode is compatible with.
Set option literal in bold.
* <-E>: Perform a Kemper notectomy. Recast for clarity and emphasis.
* <-T>: Say "-T dev" instead of "-T name"; continues commit bf2ca445, 19
July. Add comma before appositive. Drop uselessly vague motivation
for a cross reference.
* (Files): Perform a Kemper notectomy. Slightly recast. Break input
line at multi-word parentheticals.
