    groff_man_style(7): Fix content nits.
    
    * The no-break control character influences the interpretation of
      control lines, not requests per se.
    * Replace examples of typesetting output devices with their names in
      groff (i.e., as arguments to '-T')--not the names of the file formats
      these output devices generate.
