Tune the installed manual pages. This commit slightly improves the formatting of the manuals. My OpenBSD machine uses mandoc(1) to format manuals. I check the manuals with `mandoc -T lint` and fix most of the warnings. I also make other changes where mandoc didn't warn me. roff(7) says, "Each sentence should terminate at the end of an input line," but we often forgot this rule. I insert some newlines after sentences that had ended mid-line. roff(7) also says that blank lines "are only permitted within literal contexts." I delete blank lines. This removes some extra blank lines from mandoc's output. If I do want a blank line in the output, I call ".sp 1" to make it in man(7). If I want a blank line in the source, but not the output, I put a plain dot "." so roff ignores it. Hyphens used for command-line options, like \-a, should be escaped by a backslash. I insert a few missing backslashes. mandoc warns if the date in .TH doesn't look like a date. Our manuals had a missing date or the RCS keyword "$Revision$". Git doesn't expand RCS keywords. I put in today's date, 2017-01-18. Some manuals used tab characters in filled mode. That doesn't work. I use .nf to turn off filled mode, or I use .IP in man(7) to make the indentation without a tab character. ack(1) defined a macro .SB but never used it, so I delete the definition. I also remove a call to the missing macro .RF. mandoc warns about empty paragraphs. I deleted them. mandoc also warned about these macro pairs in anm(1): .SM .B text The .SM did nothing because the .B text is on a different line. I changed each pair to .SB for small bold text. I make a few other small changes. 2017-01-19 04:02:30 +00:00			`.TH ASTRIP 1 2017-01-18`
