Hello, the SEE ALSO sections in the man pages contain links which will be pulled in from *.x files by help2man. While help2man evaluates the Groff markup from --help and --version output, it doesn't bother with the markup in the *.x files. See the attached patch. The bold formatting of the links is especially useful in HTML output (but also in terminal output); the links become clickable and point to the respective man page in online collections [1]. You can test the behavior in the German version, where the links are already properly formatted [2].
