Hello,

Interresting.

I found
https://www.pragmaticlinux.com/2021/01/create-a-man-page-for-your-own-program-or-script-with-pandoc/
which globally says that with a specific header and sections declared
as first level titles, you can call : 
	pandoc foo.1.md -s -t man -o foo.1

Maybe ronn (https://manpages.debian.org/trixie/ronn/ronn.1.en.html) can
do the job too.

Hope that will help.
Baptiste
