Dear Maintainer,
Let macro "LP" come before macro "RS"
Change ".BI" to ".B" for one argument
Request ".ps" does not accept any scale indicator
Change "." to ".\&" when the period does not end a sentence
Change "!" to "!\&" when the exclamation mark does not end a sentence
Delete a repeated word "a".
***

Test nr. 2:
Enable and fix warnings from 'test-groff'.

Test nr. 15:
Change the name of a macro for two fonts (e.g., BR and IR) to one
letter, if there is only one argument.
Add the second argument if needed. It is sometimes part of the first
one.

1153:.BI E
#####
Test nr. 23:
Move a full stop (period) and a comma outside of a quoted text, if it is
at the end of the quote and does not end a quoted sentence.

Test nr. 28:
Wrong distance between sentences or protect the indicator.
1) Separate the sentences and subordinate clauses; each begins on a new
line. See man-pages(7) and "info groff".

2) Adjust space between sentences (two spaces),
3) or protect the indicator by adding "\&" after it.

Test nr. 30:
Surround a block of comments with the macros ".ig" and "..".
The .\" (\#) at the beginning of each line is then not needed.
Makes it easier to add and remove text and adjust length of lines.
