The manpages are written in groff. More specifically, they are written
in a format that may be formatted by the `mdoc' macros of groff; the set
of groff macros described in the groff_mdoc(7) manpage.
See my other post about using groff and a specially formatted `input
file' to produce text output similar to the manpage look & feel :)
The `mdoc' macro package is just _one_ of the available sets of macros
for formatting text with groff. Check out the groff wiki at
http://www.port.de/cgi-bin/groff/GroffMacroPackages
for information about the standard macro packages included with groff.
The `extras' page at
http://www.port.de/cgi-bin/groff/GroffExtras
has pointers to other, non-standard macro packages. This may be a bit
interesting too.
