info --file=3Dgroff --node=3D'Request Arguments'

Also, from the groff(7) manpage:

: REQUESTS
[...]
:        Most  requests  take one or more arguments.  The arguments
:        are separated by space characters (no tabs!); there is  no
:        inherent  limit  for  their length or number.  An argument
:        can be enclosed by a pair of double quotes: This  is  very
:        handy  if  an  argument  contains  space characters, e.g.,
:        "arg with space" denotes a single argument.

Although in groff(1) the closing double quote is not necessary for
request (macro) arguments, it's still a good idea to supply one,
at least to make the input look "canonical".
