 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Nm ctm
 transfers data in a specific file format, called a CTM delta.
-
+.Pp
 CTM deltas consist of control lines and data chunks.  Each control
 line starts with the letters
 .Dq CTM ,
 followed by a CTM statement and control data, and ends with a '\en'
 character.
-
+.Pp
 Data chunks always belong to the preceeding control line, and the
 last field on that control line is the number of bytes in the data
 chunk.
 A trailing newline '\en' character follows each data chunk, this
 newline is not part of the chunk and isn't included in the count.

 The CTM statements are as follows.
