Issue #7683 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

Subject changed from A puppet man face that builds and displays manpages using 
a vendored copy of Ronn. to A puppet man face that builds and displays manpages 
using Ronn.
Assignee set to Daniel Pittman

Turns out that vendoring Ronn isn't within our reach: ronn depends on rdiscount 
to parse markdown, and that is a C extension.  So, instead, we are going for 
the smallest option that can possible work:

Stage one, if you have Ronn, render with it, otherwise we fall back to just 
dumping the markdown to the user.  (Probably in their pager, ala git.)

Stage two, do smarter things.  Like look for prerendered man content in the 
database, or fall back to our own cache of the same, or something smart.  Don't 
know what yet, but we can totally get there soon.

A puppet man face that builds and displays manpages using Ronn.  See #7562

Ronn: [http://rtomayko.github.com/ronn/](http://rtomayko.github.com/ronn/)

Ideally, this should behave like 'git log --help' would, including automatic 
sending the content to the pager, etc.
