commit 0f5e2da1608fc1d991f1925392dcdb62c6f6aedd
Author: Rical Jasan <ricaljasan@deathguild.net>
Date:   Mon Jan 22 19:24:24 2018 -0800

    manual: Touch up documentation for strftime and ALTMON_* constants.
    
    "%OB" is considered a conversion specifier ("B" is the format
    specifier), and the list of format specifiers for months in the
    description of the optional "O" modifier was incomplete.  A
    cross-reference from the ALTMON_* constants to the strftime section
    is also provided.  Lastly, some grammatical fixes (commas) are made
    and paragraphs refactored (rewrapped).
    
    	* manual/locale.texi (ALTMON_1, ALTMON_2, ALTMON_3, ALTMON_4,
    	ALTMON_5, ALTMON_6, ALTMON_7, ALTMON_8, ALTMON_9, ALTMON_10,
    	ALTMON_11, ALTMON_12): Improve documentation.
    	* manual/time.texi (strftime): Likewise.
