    It's offtopic, but man pages should really adopt a new format (e.g. markdown) instead of roff(1).

    roff is a terrible way to write a document. Its format is ancient and not well documented. Its behavior is not consistent across different implementations. Worst of all, no proper i18n support.

    There's a tool like roff2html, but again it's pretty sketchy in terms of reliability and i18n support. I wrote my own converter when I was translating OpenBSD manpages [1], but I hope more people recognize this issue.

    Not impressed by shell incantations. What would sell such a tool to me is a feature to replace those with new and more intuitive syntax.

    Holding on to how things are done in the shell is not a thing to be proud of. I think a lot of us around here stopped counting the times we got tripped by globbing, forgetting or misplacing one special character in a ${} block, or quoting.

    Let those monstrosities die already. Please.

    There's this tool -- https://github.com/ejholmes/walk -- that is pretty good and I liked it but dropped it for the same reasons: it leaves the heavy lifting to you and it depends on your mastery in the black arts.

    Now obviously I'm not managing huge projects but nowadays https://github.com/casey/just serves me just fine for everything I need.
