See man-pages(7) and "info groff". Or 2) Adjust space between sentences (two spaces), 3) or protect the indicator by adding "\&" after it. The "indicator" is an "end-of-sentence character" (.!?). 35:finds the process id's (pids) of the named programs. It prints those 36:id's on the standard output.
