Various pages: Remove explicit blank lines, replacing them with .PP when appropriate
Rationale: $ man 7 man-pages 2>/dev/null | sed -n /Paragraphs/,/^$/p Paragraphs should be separated by suitable markers (usually either .PP or .IP). Do not separate paragraphs using blank lines, as this results in poor rendering in some output formats (such as PostScript and PDF). Fix: $ sed -i -e '1,/^\.EX/s/^$/.PP/' -e '/^\.EE/,/^\.EX/s/^$/.PP/' man?/* And then some manual adjustments.
