I also killed some pointless white space, refilled affected lines at 72 columns where convenient and non-disruptive to existing text flow, and corrected a misspelling of Ralph Corderoy's surname.

* FOR-RELEASE, HACKING, INSTALL.REPO, README: Tweak.G. Branden Robinson2022-05-261-22/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * FOR-RELEASE: Split-off ChangeLog files need to be added to the distribution archive. * HACKING: Clarify non-ChangeLoggable items. Generally, an item that resolves a Savannah ticket should be ChangeLogged even if it would not normally meet that threshold. Also clarify a point in an example; we certainly expect table entries containing the word "FOOBAR" to show up that way when formatted. * INSTALL.REPO: Correct prose description of what to do with unpacked "gnulib" snapshot. * README: Clarify that the '.version' file is produced by the build process. Clarify origins and provenance of various groff components. Use a more appropriate URL for the Savannah issue tracker. Lightly recast.
* README: Revise.G. Branden Robinson2022-05-241-79/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Say simply "groff" instead of "GNU groff"--there is no other groff. * Contextualize groff with respect to Unix troff. * Add "nroff" to list of reimplemented programs. * Drop leading dashes from macro package names; they are unnecessary at best and misleading at worst. * Remove quotation marks from things that aren't program names, macro package names, or command-line options. * Convert `this' quotation style to 'this'. * Set item for Peter Schaffter's "mom" package apart since it is (1) in the 'contrib' directory, and (2) not a reimplementation of anything from AT&T or BSD Unix troff. * Drop discussion of build dependencies in favor of pointing user to the existing "INSTALL.REPO" and "INSTALL.extra" files which already cover this material. Drop discussion of Bison 1.875 entirely since that release is over 19 years old (and was superseded in June 2003). * Retain and expand discussion of runtime dependencies, by contrast. * Recharacterize purpose of "NEWS" file since it documents more than just "recent" changes. * Mention "LICENSES" file alongside "COPYING". * Update URLs to use HTTPS schema. * Discuss and distinguish groff home page, Savannah project site, and groff's Git repository site. * Characterize "bug-groff" list as read-only; I don't think it's admnistratively configured that way at present, but it would be good to have that flexibility in the future, and in practice it is simply a reflector for groff project traffic on the Savannah issue tracker. * Bump copyright date.
* [docs]: Correct capitalization of "CaPSL".G. Branden Robinson2021-09-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | This is the correct casing of the acronym per http://www.undocprint.org/formats/page_description_language/capsl (via the Internet Archive). Also: * doc/groff.texi (grolbp): Use Texinfo @acronym command for this term instead of @strong, and don't mark up "Canon" specially at all.
* Update copyright1.23.0.rc1Bertrand Garrigues2020-11-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | * update-copyright.sh: use gnulib's 'update-copyright' script. Pass this script in directories 'arch', 'contrib', 'font', 'man', 'tmac', 'src' and on a list of extra files. * FOR-RELEASE: mention this point.
* Revert "Update copyright"Bertrand Garrigues2020-10-251-1/+1
| | | | | | This reverts commit a2e955e07354c83939fabffebcf720d3333d1f6b. Some files (COPYING, FDL, bootstrap) should not have been updated
* Update copyrightBertrand Garrigues2020-10-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Use gnulib's update-copyright script. * src/roff/groff/groff.cpp: update the printf displayed when 'groff -v' is invoked. * FOR-RELEASE: mention this point.
* Reflow or fix long lines in top-level docs.G. Branden Robinson2020-04-291-2/+4
| | | | | | | This did not produce much churn except in README.MinGW, which seems to have been deliberately wrapped at 76 columns instead of 72--sorry. Also update (in INSTALL.REPO's case, add) editor settings.
* Make settings comment in text files ecumenical.G. Branden Robinson2020-04-191-1/+1
| | | | Vim modelines go at the end of the file as well.
* Require Texinfo 5.0 (February 2013) at a minimum.G. Branden Robinson2020-04-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_MAKEINFO): Check for version 5.0 (increased from 4.8). Update diagnostics and comments. * INSTALL.extra: * README: * doc/groff.texi: * doc/webpage.ms: Document updated requirement. * doc/fixinfo.sh: Delete; it is no longer necessary to work around Texinfo 4.x bugs. * doc/doc.am (EXTRA_DIST): Stop shipping fixinfo.sh. (.texi.html): Remove makeinfo < 5.0 version check and consequent execution of fixinfo.sh. Update comment.
* README file: fix the version file name.Bertrand Garrigues2018-12-291-1/+3

* Undocument Werner and Ted as groff maintainers.G. Branden Robinson2018-11-111-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | * README: * doc/pic.ms: * src/roff/grog/grog.pl: * src/roff/nroff/nroff.sh: Werner (and Ted) retired from the role some time ago and Bertrand Garrigues has stepped up; see https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2017-09/msg00048.html. I'll let him document his maintainer status as and where he prefers. Signed-off-by: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
* Remove instructions to file bugs via bug-groff.G. Branden Robinson2018-11-061-9/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch courtesy of Dave Kemper. His comments, massaged into GNU changelog format, follow. [The patch] also fixes a couple of trivial errors in grammar, punctuation, etc., that I spotted in the process[]. * PROJECTS: Since the context of bug-groff@gnu.org in this file is not reporting bugs, instead of changing it to point to the bug tracker, I changed the address to that of the groff discussion list. (However, I don't know whether this list is configured to accept email from nonsubscribers, so this may not be a viable change.) * README: * doc/webpage.ms: These files already recommended the bug tracker as the bug-reporting mechanism; they said using the method in the file BUG-REPORT was an alternative. As BUG-REPORT also now points to the bug tracker, I've tweaked this wording. * doc/groff.texi: The address bug-groff@gnu.org was used only once in this file, not as an address to report bugs, but as the email address for Werner Lemberg. I would take this to mean he doesn't want his actual email address in public documentation, except that it appears in many other places throughout groff source code and documentation alike. So it doesn't seem unreasonable to put it in this file as well. I will email him to confirm that this is OK. [I went ahead and removed it; we don't need an email address in the document, IMO. --GBR] * INSTALL.extra: Like README, this cited the file BUG-REPORT as an alternative mechanism. I removed this wording entirely. * BUG-REPORT: * contrib/groffer/README: * contrib/mm/README: * contrib/mm/m.tmac: * contrib/mm/mm/0.MT: * contrib/mm/mm/4.MT: * contrib/mm/mm/5.MT: * contrib/mm/mm/ms.cov: * contrib/mm/mse.tmac: * src/devices/xditview/README: Tweak wording and direct readers to Savannah bug tracker instead of bug-groff mailing list.
