[LAU] [semi-OT] Writiing manpages (the practical way)

[Jeanette C.]

Hey hey,
I'd like to write a manpage for a small program that I have and I'd also like 
to practise. So I've been wondering what the real developers use.

Are you writing your manpages straight in (G)ROFF or is there a "modern" 
pre-preprocessor that is widely used?

My research didn't yield anything conclusive. I have seen mention of a few 
systems that can be translated into ROFF, but I couldn't really spot an 
obvious candidate.

I am writing c++ and use cmake, in case that might influence an answer either 
way.

Best wishes,

Jeanette
