commit fcaf114baa9901a172dc4316cbe839bc1cf8bfd8
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Tue Feb 1 18:21:21 2022 +1100

    doc/meref.me.in: Fix style nits.
    
    * Continue migration of terminology from section "level" to "depth".
    * Express the computation of the section indentation more in words than
      symbols.
    * Introduce the name of the chapter number register earlier along with
      the notion of the chapter number itself.  Continue migration from
      declarative mood (and passive voice) to imperative mood in macro
      descriptions.
