Please use semantic newlines.
See man-pages(7):
Use semantic newlines
In the source of a manual page, new sentences should be
started on new lines, long sentences should be split into
lines at clause breaks (commas, semicolons, colons, and
so on), and long clauses should be split at phrase bound‐
aries. This convention, sometimes known as "semantic
newlines", makes it easier to see the effect of patches,
which often operate at the level of individual sentences,
clauses, or phrases.
I tried to do this in v4. It seems very arbitrary, though, so if you want
further changes to the newlines I recommend just making them when committing the
patch.
Note that a better way to review changes to text is to do a word diff instead of
a line diff.
