    59 Agenda TBD
     59* man page
     60 * Currently formatted in groff (nroff supported too?), which is a cumbersome format for humans to edit.
     61 * OpenVPN 3 Linux decided to use [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickstart.html rst2man] which converts [https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3-linux/tree/master/docs/man/ .rst files] to man pages with quite good results.  It can also produce other formats as well, such as html, xml, latex, odt.
     62 * Downside: rst2man is a Python utility
     63 * Upside: Much easier to write man pages where even the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3-linux/master/docs/man/openvpn2.1.rst source file is readable].
     64 * There might be other tools similar to rst2man, which does not require Python.
     65* (...more.topics...)
