Hi @ajacoutot, thanks for the PR. Our team just put out a contribution guide detailing improvements to the contribution process. I have created issue #6918 for this PR. We will wait for the issue to receive 10 upvotes before moving this PR into the ready-for-review stage on our project board. The rationale for this can be found in the rationale section of the contribution guide. |

@justindho it's kinda ridiculous that you guys let this 6 line change languish for almost 5 years and didn't grandfather it in. i applied this patch locally, and everything works as expected. it's very safe as it's not changing any core functionality, and strictly expanding options for man rendering. |

@justindho - aws cli is broken on macOS Ventura because groff is unavailable. Can you please take ownership here and squash this bug? |

btw, i went and created a couple prs off of #6918 to resolve merge conflicts on both the v1 (develop) and v2 branches. |

Thanks for creating this PR and for your patience - it looks like this has been implemented via #7413. |

Hi.
This will allow Linux distros and BSDs systems that use mandoc instead of groff to display 'help' without the need to install additional software. More information about the mandoc formatter is available at: http://mdocml.bsd.lv/
Thanks.
