gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit 719c9c7e23d9e3ed85fee36f2ed0401dd09fc27d
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Wed Jan 31 13:03:16 2024 -0600

    eqn(1): Fix content and style nits.
    
    Document that the `-r` option affects superscripts as well as
    subscripts.  Clarify that "eqnrc" is read only when producing output for
    troff (cf.  MathML).  Favor active voice over passive.  Tighten wording.
