suggestion for improvement - nl man page |

Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to give you a tiny and somewhat meticulous suggestion for
improvement for the nl man/help page.
(It is merely a typographical issue, if at all.)
The following applies to the help page but, the same also goes for the man page.
$ nl --help
...
By default, selects -v1 -i1 -l1 -sTAB -w6 -nrn -hn -bt -fn. CC are
two delimiter characters for separating logical pages, a missing
second character implies :. Type \\ for \. STYLE is one of:
a number all lines
t number only nonempty lines
n number no lines
pBRE number only lines that contain a match for the basic regular
FORMAT is one of:
ln left justified, no leading zeros
...
For better readability it would be better for the eye to change it to the
following:
$ nl --help
...
By default, selects -v1 -i1 -l1 -sTAB -w6 -nrn -hn -bt -fn.
CC are two delimiter characters for separating logical pages, a missing
second character implies :. Type \\ for \.
STYLE is one of:

t number only nonempty lines

...
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Jefgeni
