 dhclient.leases - DHCP client lease database
 .SH DESCRIPTION
 The Internet Systems Consortium DHCP client keeps a persistent
-database of leases that it has acquired that are still valid.   The
+database of leases that it has acquired that are still valid.
+The
 database is a free-form ASCII file containing one valid declaration
-per lease.   If more than one declaration appears for a given lease,
-the last one in the file is used.   The file is written as a log, so
+per lease.
+If more than one declaration appears for a given lease,
+the last one in the file is used.
+The file is written as a log, so
 this is not an unusual occurrence.
 .PP
 The format of the lease declarations is described in
-.B dhclient.conf(5).
+.BR dhclient.conf (5).
