Do a search on the Web for "man pages" or "creating man pages" or "writing
man pages". You'll find that most of them are created with Unix tools like
GROFF, or might be SGML nowadays. You can find samples on any Linux machine,
if you don't have access to any other Unix flavor. Unix man pages aren't
much like Windows or Mac help files.
