Details:

There are severe typesetting problems. Please see the attached screenshot.

1. Typesetting for pure Chinese text is quite easy. Just place it there.
Chinese characters do not separate by spaces. There is no need to streach
spaces.

2. When typesetting Chinese with English. Just regard each Chinese character
as an English word. Current rule seems to regard a Chinese sentence as an
English word, since there are no spaces between Chinese characters.

3. Line break algorithm. A line should not begin with punctuation characters.
When there are conflicts, feel free to put some spaces at the end of the
line.

These rules should also work for Korean and Japanese man pages.
