+txt2man (create man pages from plain text)
+
+txt2man converts the input text into nroff/troff standard man(7)
+macros used to format Unix manual pages. Nice pages can be generated
+specially for commands (section 1 or 8) or for C functions reference
+(sections 2, 3), with the ability to recognize and format command and
+function names, flags, types and arguments.
+
+txt2man is also able to recognize and format sections, paragraphs,
+lists (standard, numbered, description, nested), cross references and
+literal display blocks.
