    groff_man*(7): Fix errors in \% description.
    
    Correct three misleading claims or implications.
    
    * \% is not influenced by automatic hyphenation enablement.
    * \% within a word supplements, but does not override, automatic
      hyphenation points.
    * \% at the beginning of a word suppresses automatic hyphenation points
      but not those placed with any subsequent occurrences of this escape.
