Thanks for the patch. I applied it, with a minor cosmetic tweak in the source. See <https://github.com/alejandro-colomar/man-pages/commit/f2af28be182d51e0fd6dd13dd879d3e2ec3b835f>.
We write variable names and such in separate lines, with nothing but punctuation, so 'and' belongs to a different line.
Thanks, Alex
