We have maintained a complete manpage in the Debian package for years. Each 
new version of astyle implied updating it manually from the HTML 
documentation, usually with a fair amount of changes. This was nice for users, 
but was just too much work. The current manpage points to the HTML 
documentation, which is obviously a compromise.

If you think a complete manpage is important (and I agree it is), you should 
contact the astyle authors and maybe propose them a system to write the 
astyle.html in a source language like DocBook, txt2tags, or whatever is to 
your and their liking, that could then be converted automatically to both html 
and roff.

Please let us know if you do get in touch with upstream.

Cheers,
  Matteo
