The term ''man(ual) page'' refers to a particular [markup language]
originating on [Unix] systems.  The particular markup language
is also known as ''*roff'' - a family of markup languages
designed to do presentation markup in [ASCII] text with
an eye towards typesetters (troff) or plain text (nroff).




[CL] thinks of it instead as documentation content--"''That'' is what you
need?  Look in the '''man page''' for ioctl(2)" is an example of this usage.
