I think the best solution is to insert a newline
immediately after the man page link, wherever
it may fall. This isn=E2=80=99t perfect but it=E2=80=99s better than
having one infinitely long line sticking out of
an otherwise consistently formatted section.

I=E2=80=99m reluctant to bin the markdown-transiting
version because it=E2=80=99s output includes less
tags and is less likely to trigger CSS
convulsions.
