1111b49c35 Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

98fb084859 Update mdoc(7) and mdoc.samples(7) to list the preferred order
of manual page sections.  Make the two man pages consistent
with each other in the headers they list and they order they list
them in.

Note:  this is the preferred ordering.  All new man pages/additions
to man pages should try and follow this.  Existing man pages
should be left alone, unless you are making major changes  in
the man page and re-ordering of the sections is only a
minor part of the change.

6740f1c4ef Correctly escape a macro call in the description of the .D1 macro.
Also use the correct macro (.D1, not .Dl) to format the text,
and in the example output.

section.  Update some descriptions of the various sections to

of section numbers and what they are used for.

8889d6ac3a Document the .Rv (return values) macro.
".Rv -std atexit" will generate the following text:

The atexit() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the
value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.

c41c97fab9 Document the previously undocumented .Bf (begin font mode) macro.
Moved the descriptions of the .Em, .Li and .Sy macros into
the new "Font Modes" sub-section along with .Bf, since they are
all related.
