Hi

I have been playing with this. One thing that is worrying me a little at
the moment is that the man page looks different from before (imo less
nice). More importantly, I can't tweak the rst to get the generated
pages to look like the current ones (this could just be my lack of skill
with rst)

I do like the general approach but would like to make sure we can get
manpages (amongst other things) that we like from it. See below for one
example which I thought looked less nice

Best wishes

Mark



The particular  thing is the indentation for options (eg options in the
notmuch.1 page) In the original pages it looks like

OPTIONS
       Supported global options for notmuch include

           --help

               Print a synopsis of available commands and exit.

and in the new ones

OPTIONS
       Supported global options for notmuch include

       --help

       Print a synopsis of available commands and exit.

I find this makes it more difficult to scan the man page quickly.
