The more I look at it the stronger I believe that this is by far
not enough. There are many more mistakes in the manpage, like
characters disappearing because they are not escaped, more or
less random indentation levels ... Definitely the bastard child
of Mercurial, the man pages.

Someone who really knows about asciidoc and docbook should look
into this. Right now I don't have time, sorry.
