Follow-up Comment #2, bug #64582 (group groff): Branden opined in that bug:
> I think few people apart from macro package authors ever use > the `em` request. While it's impossible to quantify who uses what, it's notable that the Texinfo manual gives three different examples of uses of this request, some of which end users must have picked up over the decades. The most recently added of these examples (13 years ago, [http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=1d3547221 commit 1d3547221]) was contributed by a user (http://lists.gnu.org/r/groff/2011-03/msg00008.html), so it was in use in the wild before the groff manual picked it up. Example 2 dates to 2009 ([http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=08efbc17d commit 08efbc17d]) and example 1 to the dawn of the manual in git ([http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=af2d6f8e5 commit af2d6f8e5], 1999). _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64582> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
