It looks good.

While I don't read man pages in PDF, I have written a few PDF documents 
using man(7), and for those, this feature is great.

P.S.: I tried ms, as you recommended, but I'm not yet convinced by it. 
I'll still use man(7) for a while, I think.  My only problem with man(7) 
is .TH, which I can't remove :/


Cheers,

Alex
