We used to rely on a Ruby tool called ronn to build our man pages (both "roff" and HTML formats) from a special markdown flavor called "ronn".
This drops that dependency and instead builds man pages using a new process called md2roff. It sources a more “standard” flavor of markdown (even though it still relies on a definition list syntax that's non-standard).
Since the HTML generator is rebuilt from the ground up, I took the liberty to refresh the CSS styles as well:
I drew some initial inspiration from https://github.com/cpuguy83/go-md2man
