in repository groff.

commit 84da8ad7a7ba577df030193f1e083359b7e2386d
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Fri Aug 14 18:36:56 2020 +1000

    groff_man*(7): Fix erroneous use of "flush left".
    
    * tmac/groff_man.7.man.in (Description/{Document structure macros/.TH,
      Horizontal and vertical spacing}): Fix erroneous use of "flush left".
      The current uses were introduced by me, but the page has borne
      incorrect uses of it as far back as 1999 {in the description of .TP).
      Simply say "with no indentation" instead.
    
    Also delete some comments regarding future elements in the style page I
    no longer think we'll need.
