* Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take noFred Drake2001-11-281-6/+6
| | | | | | | | parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the last thing in the enclosing group.
