 <h1 id="display-of-options-and-port-settings">DISPLAY OF OPTIONS AND PORT SETTINGS</h1>
 <p>The &quot;show program options&quot; command (<strong>C-v</strong>), as well as the commands that change program options (<strong>C-b</strong>, <strong>C-u</strong>, <strong>C-d</strong>, <strong>C-f</strong>, etc) print messages showing the current values (or the new values, if they were changed) for the respective options. If picocom determines that an actual serial-port setting differs from the current value of the respective option (for whatever reason), then the value of the option is shown followed by the value of the actual serial-port setting in parenthesis. Example:</p>
-<pre><code>*** baud: 115200 (9600) </code></pre>
+<pre><code>*** baud: 115200 (9600)</code></pre>
 <p>This means that a baud rate of 115200bps has been selected (from the command line, or using commands that change the baudrate) but the serial-port is actually operating at 9600bps (the driver may not support the higher setting, and has silently replaced it with a safe default, or the setting may have been changed from outside picocom). If the option and the corresponding serial-port setting are the same, only a single value is shown. Example:</p>
 <pre><code>*** baud: 9600</code></pre>
 <p>This behavior was introduced in picocom 2.0. Older releases displayed only the option values, not the actual serial-port settings corresponding to them.</p>
