txt2man - convert flat ASCII text to man page format
SYNOPSIS
txt2man [-hpTX] [-t mytitle] [-P pname] [-r rel] [-s sect]

DESCRIPTION
txt2man converts the input text into nroff/troff standard man(7)
macros used to format Unix manual pages. Nice pages can be generated

Here is how text patterns are recognized and processed:
Sections These headers are defined by a line in upper case, starting
column 1. If there is one or more leading spaces, a
sub-section will be generated instead.
sub-section will be generated instead. Optionally, the
Section name can be preceded by a blank line. This is useful
for a better visualization of the source text to be used to
generate the manpage.
Paragraphs They must be separated by a blank line, and left aligned.
Alternatively two blank spaces can be used to produce the
same result. This option will provide a better visualization
of the source text to be used to generate the manpage.
Tag list The item definition is separated from the item description
by at least 2 blank spaces, even before a new line, if
definition is too long. Definition will be emphasized
by default.
Bullet list
Bullet list items are defined by the first word being "-"
or "*" or "o".
or "*" or "o".
Enumerated list
The first word must be a number followed by a dot.

Literal display blocks
This paragraph type is used to display unmodified text,
for example source code. It must be separated by a blank
line, and be indented. It is primarily used to format
unmodified source code. It will be printed using fixed font
whenever possible (troff).

SYNOPSIS This section receives a special treatment to identify command
name, flags and arguments, and propagate corresponding
attributes later in the text. If a C like function is recognized
(word immediately followed by an open parenthesis), txt2man will
print function name in bold font, types in normal font, and
variables in italic font. The whole section will be printed using
a fixed font family (courier) whenever possible (troff).
(word immediately followed by an open parenthesis), txt2man will
print function name in bold font, types in normal font, and
variables in italic font. The whole section will be printed using
a fixed font family (courier) whenever possible (troff).
It is a good practice to embed documentation into source code, by using
comments or constant text variables. txt2man allows to do that, keeping
comments or constant text variables. txt2man allows one to do that, keeping
the document source readable, usable even without further formatting
(i.e. for online help) and easy to write. The result is high quality
and standard complying document.
OPTIONS
-h The option -h displays help.
-d date Set date in header. Defaults to current date.
-P pname Set pname as project name in header. Default to uname -s.
-p Probe title, section name and volume.
-t mytitle Set mytitle as title of generated man page.
-r rel Set rel as project name and release.
-s sect Set sect as section in heading, ususally a value from 1 to 8.
-s sect Set sect as section in heading, usually a value from 1 to 8.
-v vol Set vol as volume name, i.e. "Unix user 's manual".
-I txt Italicize txt in output. Can be specified more than once.
-B txt Emphasize (bold) txt in output. Can be specified more than once.
-T Text result previewing using PAGER, usually more(1).
-X X11 result previewing using gxditview(1).
ENVIRONMENT
PAGER name of paging command, usually more(1), or less(1). If not set
falls back to more(1).
EXAMPLE
PAGER name of paging command, usually more(1), or less(1). If not set
falls back to more(1).
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH Unix timestamp that is used for date in header instead
of current date.
EXAMPLES
Try this command to format this text itself:
$ txt2man -h 2>&1 | txt2man -T
$ txt2man -h 2>&1 | txt2man -T
The following command will generate a manpage level 1 to foo-1.1.0 program,
from foo.txt file, used as source code to previously mentioned manpage:
$ txt2man -d "15 May 2016" -t foo -r foo-1.1.0 -s 1 -v "show stars on screen" foo.txt > foo.1
HINTS
To obtain an overall good formating of output document, keep paragraphs
To obtain an overall good formatting of output document, keep paragraphs
indented correctly. If you have unwanted bold sections, search for
multiple spaces between words, which are used to identify a tag list
(term followed by a description). Choose also carefully the name of
