I'm not sure how I'd split them, but I'm not happy with the current suggestion. Please see man-pages(7) about semantic newlines, and see if you come up with something nicer. 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 guess the best thing then is to just break it on the semi-colon.
Yeah, either semicolon or ':'.
