gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit 021a6de8c41ea8960cf5c965d988fff4c8bd74e7
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Sat Feb 5 10:08:34 2022 +1100

    [man pages]: Fix content and style nits.
    
    Content:
    * State the arguably obvious fact that there is a "groff project".
    * Drop unnecessary detail of parser operation.  Readers who think like
      parsers already reason this way, and those who don't won't develop a
      skill for it from these five words.
    
    Style:
    * Tweak wording and fix a missing period.
