I've also found scdoc to be a quite pleasant and very lightweight alternative

I've noticed that the bullet points in man pages produced by scdoc are "off" compared to those produced by "pod2man". For example compare

https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/scdoc/scdoc.5.en.html#LISTS

to

https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/debhelper/debhelper.7.en.html#Substitutions_in_debhelper_config_files

The scdoc-produced lists are typeset with small dots, and have no spaces between the bullet points and the text. The pod2man lists have instead large dots and contain a space between the bullet points and the text.

Perhaps is it just a bug in the man-to-html conversion? Or is scdoc producing wrong roff markup?
