 Starting lines with a space is bogus, and causes groff(1)
 to stop formatting the current line.  There's nothing wrong
 with some text running of a right margin; manpages display
 "literal" text exactly as it is shown by a program, and the
 output of man(1) could be controlled by a pager utility
 like more(1) or less(1).
