If that's the issue, "e.g.," is shorter, and moving the "the" to the previous line still leaves us at 78 columns: For more information about this security protection see the "Auto-loading safe path" section in the GDB manual. E.g., run from the shell: info "(gdb)Auto-loading safe path" vs the 77 columns: For more information about this security protection see the "Auto-loading safe path" section in the GDB manual or run from the shell: info "(gdb)Auto-loading safe path" Not suggesting this one, but a little re-flowing can bring it down to 73 columns, at the expense of breaking the section name in two lines: For more information about this security protection see the "Auto-loading safe path" section in the GDB manual. For example, run from the shell: info "(gdb)Auto-loading safe path" Anyway, just for completeness.
