These man pages don't use .nh when describing command invocation syntax,
so we end up with things like this (on 80 character terminals):

              ip link add DEVICE type vxlan id ID [ dev PHYS_DEV  ] [ { group
              | remote } IPADDR ] [ local IPADDR ] [ ttl TTL ] [ tos TOS ] [
              port MIN MAX ] [ [no]learning ] [ [no]proxy ] [ [no]rsc ] [
              [no]l2miss ] [ [no]l3miss ] [ ageing SECONDS ] [ maxaddress NUM‐
              BER ] [ gbp ]

and:

              ip link add DEVICE type { gre | ipip | sit }  remote ADDR local
              ADDR [ encap { fou | gue | none } ] [ encap-sport { PORT | auto
              } ] [ encap-dport PORT ] [  [no]encap-csum ] [  [no]encap-remc‐
              sum ]

and this affects this addition as well:

       TYPE := [ bridge | bond | can | dummy | hsr | ifb | ipoib | macvlan |
               macvtap | vcan | veth | vlan | vxlan | ip6tnl | ipip | sit |
               gre | gretap | ip6gre | ip6gretap | vti | nlmon | ipvlan | low‐
               pan ]

A possible fix for this would be to put these descriptions in an
environment with hyphenation mode zero.
