Hi Phani,
have a look at sgml-tools or any other package (depending on your
distribution) which provides SGML (e.g. linuxdoc or debiandoc).
Most of these provide automatic generation of man-pages, ascii,
latex, html and postscript output out of one single source.
If you worked already with LaTeX, it should take you not more
than 2 hours until you can start with your first SGML-document.
The big advantage is, that you can not only provide man-pages
but also online html-documentation and neatly formatted ps-printout
with (nearly) no additional work and you only have to maintain
one single source of docu (the SGML-file).
