Subject: mdocml: Sync to OpenBSD: More precise description of .Xo, and don't talk
Date: Sat, 18 Dec 2010 14:12:01 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201012181912.oBIJC17e013239@krisdoz.my.domain> (raw)
Log Message:
-----------
Sync to OpenBSD: More precise description of .Xo, and don't talk
about deprecation, because there are cases were choosing .Xo or
backslash line continuation is merely a matter of taste, not a
difference in readability, and well-used .Xo is even slightly
more portable.
