You could use a .pod file (this is the perl documentation format),
which you can convert into a man page.
pod2man --section=1 --release="`date +'%d %b %Y'`"\
--center="Debian/GNU" --date=' '\
debian/update-xlogmaster.pod > debian/update-xlogmaster.1
The podfile looks like:
=head1 NAME
update-xlogmaster - create a configurationfile for xlogmaster
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<update-xlogmaster [-v]>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
[...]
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item -v
Verbose output, show warnings.
=back
[...]
=head1 SEE ALSO
xlogmaster(1), /usr/doc/xlogmaster/tutorial.txt
As you can see, the syntax is quite easy. See perldoc perlpod for more
info.
Ciao,
Martin
