gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit 20384c7029874e916a375fbeab7d584d5ae2da4b
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Tue May 25 13:25:57 2021 +1000

    [docs]: Fix style and content nits around \n[.h].
    
    * doc/groff.texi (Page Control): Clarify; it's not just "empty lines"
      that don't increase \n[.h] (by themselves), it's any vertical spacing.
    * man/groff.7.man (Registers/Read-only register) <.h>: Say "baseline",
      not "base-line"; the former is more idiomatic.  Drop word "current".
