commit c740a67424628f04b24cf0c515d7beb3c4dd6a90
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Sun Jan 30 05:26:47 2022 +1100

    groff_out(5): Fix content, style, markup nits.
    
    Content:
    * Replace pseudo-bibliographic citations with references to AT&T troff.
    * Note that groff's output driver library handles relative horizontal
      and vertical motion commands with negative arguments even though the
      formatter doesn't produce them.
    
    Style:
    * Fix missing parenthesis.
    * Tighten wording.
    
    Markup:
    * Break input lines after semicolons.
