FWIW, a *great* model to follow is probably the standard Unix manual page
format, which has had thirty years of working reasonably well for documenting
this sort of thing.

If you forgive my linking into a Perl tool, this is probably the most
user-friendly documentation about the structure of a good manual page for
software tools I know of:

  http://search.cpan.org/~jhi/perl-5.8.1/pod/pod2man.PL#NOTES

Specifically, the 'NOTES' section includes the details on how to structure the
manual page and what to include in each section.


Using a model like that means the puppet community can work from the base of a
good, solid existing practice rather than inventing their own standards — and,
of course, having to rediscover the same problems everyone else ran into. :)

Regards,
