=head1 DESCRIPTION
-dh_installman is a debhelper program that handles installing
+B<dh_installman> is a debhelper program that handles installing
man pages into the correct locations in package build directories. You tell
-it what man pages go in your packages, and it figures out where to
-install them based on the section field in their .TH line. If you have a
-properly formatted .TH line, your man page will be installed into the right
-directory, with the right name (this includes proper handling of pages
-with a subsection, like "3perl", which are placed in man3, and given an
-extension of ".3perl"). If your .TH line is incorrect or missing, the program
-may guess wrong based on the file extension.
+it what man pages go in your packages, and it figures out where to install
+them based on the section field in their B<.TH> or B<.Dt> line. If you have
+a properly formatted B<.TH> or B<.Dt> line, your man page will be installed
+into the right directory, with the right name (this includes proper handling
+of pages with a subsection, like B<3perl>, which are placed in F<man3>, and
+given an extension of F<.3perl>). If your B<.TH> or B<.Dt> line is incorrect
+or missing, the program may guess wrong based on the file extension.
It also supports translated man pages, by looking for extensions

-If dh_installman seems to install a man page into the wrong section or with
+If B<dh_installman> seems to install a man page into the wrong section or with
the wrong extension, this is because the man page has the wrong section
-listed in its .TH line. Edit the man page and correct the section, and
-dh_installman will follow suit. See L<man(7)> for details about the .TH
-section. If dh_installman seems to install a man page into a directory
-like /usr/share/man/pl/man1/, that is because your program has a
-name like "foo.pl", and dh_installman assumes that means it is translated
-into Polish. Use --language=C to avoid this.
-
-Any man page filenames specified as parameters will be installed into the
-first package dh_installman is told to act on. By default, this is the
-first binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags,
-it will be the first package specified by those flags.
-
-Files named debian/package.manpages can list other man pages to be
-installed.

-After the man page installation step, dh_installman will check to see if

+section, and B<dh_installman> will follow suit. See L<man(7)> for details
+about the B<.TH> section, and L<mdoc(7)> for the B<.Dt> section. If
+B<dh_installman> seems to install a man page into a directory
+like F</usr/share/man/pl/man1/>, that is because your program has a
+name like F<foo.pl>, and B<dh_installman> assumes that means it is translated
+into Polish. Use B<--language=C> to avoid this.

+After the man page installation step, B<dh_installman> will check to see if
any of the man pages in the temporary directories of any of the packages it
-is acting on contain ".so" links. If so, it changes them to symlinks.

manual page and convert it to UTF-8. If the guesswork fails for some
reason, you can override it using an encoding declaration. See
