Branden Robinson Date: Sat May 9 09:44:47 2020 +1000 Further improve .ss documentation. More strongly distinguish the minimality (adjustability) of inter-word space and fixedness (non-adjustability) of inter-sentence space. This was the main point of the problem report, Savannah #54101. * doc/groff.texi: + Note that negative values are not permitted in either argument to .ss. (Right now the prohibition is enforced by assertion failure and core dump; see Savannah #58337.) + Add index nodes to help readers find discussion of details of spacing between words and sentences. + Improve grammar. * man/groff.7.man: Make descriptions of \n[.ss] and \n[.sss] more self-contained. * man/groff_diff.7.man: Sync with applicable change to groff.texi. Thanks to Dave Kemper for his feedback. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
