geomyidae.8: improve man page formatting and some lint | |
* Simplify and improve some nested sections. These are less portable according | |
to the mandoc lint warning. Change .Dl or .D1 lines to a literal block. | |
* Fix a few lines longer than 79 characters. | |
* Fix some mandoc -Tlint warnings. | |
* Remove an extra paragraph which added an extra line, this is an injustice. | |
