Truncated sentance in radvd.conf manpage?

[mbooth101]

See:

radvd/radvd.conf.5.man

Lines 117 to 128 in f2de476

	By default radvd will use the first link-local address for the interface as the
	source address for route advertisements. This can be overwritten by manually
	setting the list of acceptable source addresses. If done, radvd will use the
	first address from the interface that is present in the configured source
	addresses only. This functionality will NOT spoof the source address, but may be useful in combination with VRRP or other functionality that
	.nf
	.BR AdvRASrcAddress " " {
	list of IPv6 addresses
	.B };
	.fi

The paragraph ends with:

... but may be useful in combination with VRRP or other functionality that
