Ouch, that page is a mess, line-ending-wise :-(. Most of it is dos/windows-style (CRLF), but the paragraphs you're interested in are old-MacOS-style (CR), and of course you're trying to get sensible returns in a system that expects LF which doesn't help :-/

You could add a "tr '\r' '\n'" to the pipeline to translate those into LFs, or "tr -d '\r'" to simply remove them.
