[Docutils-develop] [docutils:feature-requests] #72 rst2man: Show reference targets

[engelbert g. <gr...@us...>]

i found on my lubuntu man 7 man:

   Hypertext link macros
       .UR url ... snip

       .UE [trailer] ... snip

       These macros have been supported since GNU Troff 1.20 (2009-01-05) and Heirloom Doctools  Troff  since  (2016-02-17).
       
   and the same man page online https://linux.die.net/man/7/man
   with a .URL macro
   
   any preferences any

Currently, the manpage writer writes a reference like `ALT TEXT <URL>` as just `ALT TEXT`, with alternate font.
Would it be better to render it as, for example, `ALT TEXT [URL]`, so the information is not lost?
