Hi, guys,

Could anyone help me to understand why manpage stylesheet add line breaks
before each markup?

Take an example from foo.1.example_manpage.xml,

<para><command>&dhpackage;</command> frobnicates the
<application>bar</application> library by tweaking internal symbol tables.
By default it parses all baz segments and rearranges them in reverse order
by time for the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>xyzzy</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
linker to find them. The symdef entry is then compressed using the
<abbrev>WBG</abbrev> (Whiz-Bang-Gizmo) algorithm. All files are processed
in the order specified.</para>

The generated result is

.PP
\fBfoo\fR
frobnicates the
bar
library by tweaking internal symbol tables\&. By default it parses all baz
segments and rearranges them in reverse order by time for the
\fBxyzzy\fR(1)
linker to find them\&. The symdef entry is then compressed using the
WBG
(Whiz\-Bang\-Gizmo) algorithm\&. All files are processed in the order
specified\&.

Is there any param/option to eliminate such unnecessary line breaks?
