The manpages are difficult to read, as they do not use a discription indentation for the options. The team has chosen not to undent the contents with another bullet under tha option itself. This is confusing as normal manpages are typically maintained with more indentation. An example on how man pages are formated can be foun at:

http://grid.ncsa.uiuc.edu/myproxy/man/myproxy-init.1.html

There are multiple ways on how o fix this.

One would be to find som dokuwiki feature that allows a bockquote

* option
<blockquote>
description
</blockquote>

If one blockquote is not enough, one can do a second one

* option
<blockquote><blockquote>
description
</blockquote</blockquote>

naturally there could be an even better way.
