Well, the 'for' loop could definitely be split over a few lines,
but we'd still be left with the long pipe'd line. What we really
want is a way to split long command-lines onto multiple shorter
lines. This is a general unix question -- try a few google
searches along those lines.
(A web-specific solution would be some magic in the .css file, but
that won't do anything for info or pdf, so there's no point
fussing about that.)
