Thanks for that hint. That would though mean to switch the man page source format from the Markdown format to the AsciiDoc format, which might have other impacts, like e.g. publishing on ReadTheDocs, GitBooks (supports AsciiDoc only as 2nd class citizen and no adoc/md mixed contents), or GitHub Pages with Jekyll (does not work for me currently anyway, but still), etc.: http://unburden-home-dir.readthedocs.io/en/latest/unburden-home-dir.1/index.html https://xtaran.gitbooks.io/unburden-home-dir/content/docs/unburden-home-dir.1.html But if switching the format would be an option, I'd switch to Perl's POD as that converts very well and out-of-the-box to man pages.
