I went all crazy :) Centered text? Yes. Implemented centered block in man pages. This is probably one of the reasons the Org exporter enables the creation of complex typesetting. In this case, I'm using the .ce groff command to centralize the text. .ce requires the number of lines to centralized, provided by the content variable. It is not "dumb" markup translation. Tables? Yes. Man pages are groff files at the end. It can process TBL and EQN commands. You may need to configure man.conf to make sure that tbl and/or eqn is invoked. Multi levels? Yes, provided via .TP macros. The first two levels are using the headline macros from man. The next levels are through .TP and indentation. Bullet Lists? Yes, provided via .IP and using the different markers. Alpha lists? Are you kidding me?! NO! :) Ok, not yet. It should be possible to implement though. Links? The new version of the man command allows for URL and for Email. But I'm sticking mostly with legacy implementation in which they will be written out and that's it. For now... Want proof?
