Subject: [PATCH] Manuals: Some minor textual and formatting changes

  Add an italic correction

  Correct the explanation of the request ".itc"

  The string "ellipsis" ends in ".\&".  If it ends a sentence, an extra
sentence space (protected with '\"' at the end of a line) has to be added,
as the period is then not recognized as an end of sentence.

  Correct the spelling of "one" ( on -> one).

  The escape '\c' removes everything (except \R'...') after it.
