Adding man pages?

See original GitHub issue

https://nvchecker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ is awesome, but some man pages (or maybe another pretty-formatted format not depending on heavy browser stuffs) will be even nicer.

As nvchecker already offers rst documents, rst2man from python-docutils might be an option. The result of rst2man /usr/share/doc/nvchecker/usage.rst | man -l - looks good-ish with a few warnings.

pandoc might be another option, but it seems not straightforward. pandoc -f rst -t man /usr/share/doc/nvchecker/usage.rst -o nvchecker.7 does not generate a readable man page.

P.S. This issue is based on some discussions on the #archlinux-tu IRC channel.
