gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit 6ff9c1796bf4550b6d47032616d8c84c377f4cdb
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    doc/groff.texi, groff_diff(7): Use term "request".
    
    ...in favor of "command".  Except for an introductory portion of
    groff(7), our documentation is pretty good about reserving the term
    "command" to Unix commands, instructions in the bespoke formats of
    device and font description files and the intermediate output language,
    or drawing commands, the last being the sublanguage of the \D escape.
    
    I did not fix groff(7) because it needs a more considered rewrite to
    overcome this problem.
