Effect the correct use of "affect".

Use em dashes instead of " - ".

Use .Em instead of *emphasis*.

mdoc(7) police: protect trailing full stops of abbreviations

# 81251 07-Aug-2001 ru

mdoc(7) police:

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.


# 79727 14-Jul-2001 schweikh

Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...
