Hi all,
I can also recommend help2man, provided the program follows the general
--help and --version convention. I had very good experience with it for
some of my python programs. help2man takes the output of the program
to generate the man page and merges it with a custom groff/text file
for additional sections.
Kind regards,
Dennis

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.
I have been using the help2man program in such cases which creates a
man page by running your executable using the --help and --version
options (which should follow the GNU guidelines) and parsing the
output. You can either tweak the output by using command line options
or at least use it as starting point for further modifications.
