man pages are text documents written using the groff markup language. This
is mostly due to Hysterical Raisins; roff was useful back in the day and
they've continued the tradition. I know that LyX can export to something
like a man page format, and Jade includes docbook2man. It's possible to
write man pages by hand as well, though this is tedious.
