# page format. The intention behind this utility is to generate manual pages for
# contrib scripts without much hassle.
+# Syntax:
+# Every line starts with two hashes and a space ('## '). If the line ends with a
+# colon (':'), it is assumed to be a section header. Subsections follow the same
+# convention, but uses three hashes instead of two. An empty '## ' line will
+# start a new paragraph (.Pp). Otherwise, mdoc(7) syntax is used as is.
+# Headers are generated using the script's name, and the docstring is used from
+# the line following the shebang.
+#
+# 'See also' section is pregenerated and only points the user to cpt(1). Others
+# can be added with the following line and format:
+# ## see: cpt-fork.1 this-manpage.5
