* doc/Makefile (clean): Include more index files.
Add rule texinfo->dvi. * doc/groff.texinfo: Added new index `op' for operators. More info on end of sentence characters. More use of @Deffn. * */*.man: Adding a note that a whitespace can be inserted between a command line option and its parameter -- we are using GNU getopt. * src/roff/groff/groff.man: Add example of `-m mandoc'. Correct anachronism of calling the man macro file with `-man' instead of `-m man' etc. * tmac/tmac.man, tmac/tmac.mandoc, tmac/tmac.markup, tmac/tmac.mdoc, tmac/tmac.me, tmac/tmac.ms: New files tmac.m<package> which simply load tmac.<package>. * tmac/Makefile.sub: Updated.
