> And manpages exist. For older tools, sure. Newer tools eschew man pages and just offer some help flag, even though there are excellent libraries that generate manpages like https://crates.io/crates/clap_mangen https://crates.io/crates/clap_mangen or https://crates.io/crates/mandown https://crates.io/crates/mandown (for Rust, but I am sure most languages have one) without requiring you to learn troff.
