commit 9b0a63a82c52832b05753f1469491de0afef6593
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Sat Nov 28 23:13:51 2020 +1100

    doc/groff.texi (Parameters): Fix error in example.

    Arguments to .als were in the wrong order (.als is not ln(1)).  Also
    mark output to the standard error stream using the @error Texinfo
    command instead of @result.

    Problem dates back to 94aa325325dc02da6b1c09e31baca5e27013464a, 28
    September 2008.

    Thanks to Dorai Sitaram for finding this error.

    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59566>.

In the example explaining \$0 (around line 12129 in groff.texi), the line

.als foo bar

should be

.als bar foo
