    Space at end of line removed
    
      General considerations
    
    a) Manuals should usually only be left justified.  Use ".ad l"
    as the first regular command.
    
    b) Each sentence should begin on a new line.  The conventions
    about the amount of space between sentences are different.  This
    also makes a check on the number of space characters between
    words easier.
    
    c) Separate numbers from units with a (no-break) space.  A
    no-break space can be code 0xA0, "\ " (\<space>), or "\~"
    (groff).
    
    d) Use macros "TS/TE" for tables with more than two columns.
    Then use
    
    '\" t
    
    as the first line in the source to tell "man" to use the "tbl"
    preprocessor.
    
    e) Protect last period (full stop) in abbreviations with "\&",
    if it is or might be (through new formatting of source) at the
    end of line, if it is also not an end of sentence.
