clap_mangen is cool! Sadly it's not yet up to par if you significantly hack clap. How can I improve its output?

My --help looks like:

Yet my clap_mangen made manpage looks like:

I hacked clap a lot yes to make my version, but it's still disappointing. How can I improve it? :-)

clap_mangen is still fairly young with a lot of basic work left and always open to more input on further improvements.

man pages aren't an official priority yet. Most existing development has happened because some users wanted to bootstrap this effort. It also doesn't help that I'm not one of those people that lives and breaths man pages so there is a lot of open questions on what the right decisions are (e.g. what should be required vs custom-with-default vs custom behavior and how best to allow that).

Thanks Ed. I ended up figuring out enough about man pages to write one manually. What do you think? Should clap_mangen generate something like this, or is it ugly to you?

To me it looks not so bad but I've never written a manpage before.

man -l -Tdvi /usr/share/man/man1/hns.1.gz > /tmp/hns.dvi

Yes, this is the type of thing that clap_mangen should generate. It'll just take someone going in and finishing the work on it.
