For comparison here’s one of the bind9 man pages — I for one much prefer the resulting output.

https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9_18_10/manpages.html#delv-dns-lookup-and-validation-utility

Some of the output formats have to be generated (man pages, too, I guess!). I’m not sure why it’s important that the man pages are the “source” as long as they get generated, too.
