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 boundaries.  This convention,
       sometimes known as "semantic newlines", makes it easier to  see
       the  effect of patches, which often operate at the level of in‐
       dividual sentences, clauses, or phrases.

Thanks,
Alex
