1bb7d81107 There is no need to wrap vendor id bits with '#if 0' if they come pre-wrapped. 2002-02-01 01:17:22 +00:00
Bruce Evans
96cb532cb8 Modified the rules for vendor ids:
- explictly say not to edit infrastructure for vendor ids (not just the
  ids).
- say to enclose vendor ids and their infrastucture in ``#if 0'', and
  partly explain why.
- don't set a bad example by mangling the Berkeley id infrastructure from
  ``static char sccsid[] ...'' to ``__RCSID(...)''.
- show a blank line between the vendor id cruft and the FreeeBSD if cruft
  in the example.
- relaxed the rule about adding "From: " to say that "From: " is actually
  useful if the file has been renamed.
- minor English improvements.

eedd038914 Be exsplicit about the parentheses around return statements. It is

778b81a315 Fixed some English errors, mainly ones not fixed in the previous commit.
The previous commit message should have said this too (the only BSDism
fixed was punctuation for non-sentences).  Neither these changes nor
the ones in the previous commit were exactly as submitted by me.

c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

3b08168907 Change the errx() example. Error messages passed to the err(3)
functions shouldn't have the first word capitalized, and shouldn't
have a period at the end.  This is how most of our programs, and most
(all?) of the 4.4BSD programs, are.  In the past, we've even done
sweeps to change things to comply to this.
