in repository groff.
commit dbb3a589698484c6b367df516167555ce51f053b
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Sun Oct 9 22:06:05 2022 -0500
groff(7): Clarify several points.
* Define `ll` request more clearly; it does _not_ affect the pending
output line.
* Migrate terminology: "scaling indicator" -> "scaling unit".
* Document function of `lt` request without argument.
* <\x, .\n[.in], \n[.ll]>: Speak of "pending", not "current" output
line.
* Recast presentation of indentation-related requests and registers.
