These man pages don't use .nh when describing command invocation syntax,
so we end up with things like this (on 80 character terminals):

ip link add DEVICE type vxlan id ID [ dev PHYS_DEV ] [ { group
| remote } IPADDR ] [ local IPADDR ] [ ttl TTL ] [ tos TOS ] [
port MIN MAX ] [ [no]learning ] [ [no]proxy ] [ [no]rsc ] [
[no]l2miss ] [ [no]l3miss ] [ ageing SECONDS ] [ maxaddress NUM‐
BER ] [ gbp ]

and:

ip link add DEVICE type { gre | ipip | sit } remote ADDR local
ADDR [ encap { fou | gue | none } ] [ encap-sport { PORT | auto
} ] [ encap-dport PORT ] [ [no]encap-csum ] [ [no]encap-remc‐
sum ]

and this affects this addition as well:

TYPE := [ bridge | bond | can | dummy | hsr | ifb | ipoib | macvlan |
macvtap | vcan | veth | vlan | vxlan | ip6tnl | ipip | sit |
gre | gretap | ip6gre | ip6gretap | vti | nlmon | ipvlan | low‐
pan ]

A possible fix for this would be to put these descriptions in an
environment with hyphenation mode zero.
