While you're tidying this up, I would convert the `\ ` escape sequence
to `\~`.  Both are non-breaking spaces, but the latter is adjustable.

groff_man(7) from groff 1.22.4 says:

 \~     Adjustable, non-breaking space character.  Use  this  escape  to
        prevent  a  break  inside  a short phrase or between a numerical
        quantity and its corresponding unit(s).

               Before starting the motor, set the output speed to\~1.
               There are 1,024\~bytes in 1\~kiB.
               CSTR\~#8 documents the B language.

Regards,
Branden
