commit 05ffb6af6e5fe23bac2e7f0469163ee490404ba1
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    manuals: Fix minor correctness and format issues.
    
    groff_diff(7):
    * Correct the explanation of the request ".itc"--it was backwards.
    * Add italic corrections where necessary when using font escapes.
    * The locally-defined string "ellipsis" ends in ".\&".  If it ends a
      sentence, an extra sentence space (protected with '\"' at the end of a
      line) has to be added, as the period is then not recognized as an end
      of sentence.
    
    groff_tmac(7):
    * Correct the spelling of "one" ( on -> one).
    
    roff(7):
    * Add italic correction.

commit 7aa009ae5142d2e6823ad586f292afd3e70ca644
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    groff(7): Fix unit names and macro argument usage.
    
    The name of units used in groff are written with lower case.
    
    The macros ".request" and ".register" set all arguments in boldface, so
    punctuation must be transferred to the next line.
    
    Fix damaged layout obscuring scaled points as a unit.
    
    Fixes Savannah #51502 [4/5].

    manuals: Fix minor textual issues.
    
    1) Correct spelling.
    
    2) Use the symbol 'in' for inch, not the English (American) specific '"'
    (quotation mark).
    
    3) Use '\e' to print '\', not '\\'.
    
    4) Use '\-' to indicate an option, not '-'.
