|     What do people use to write man pages?

I hate to supply the standard answer, but... vi!

| Is there some utility that
| converts from some standard format to a man format, like from .doc to
| html?  I know there's a pod2man command, however I don't know how to
| write stuff in pod.

man perlpod

This iwll teach you pod. It's VERY VERY easy, deliberately so.
Converts happily to many formats.

Or, dare I suggest it...

man 7 man

Learn the man(7) macro set and write real man pages.

And stay the hell away from info. It is evil beyond words. It had
some very limited use before HTML was common, but these days it is a
proprietry dinosaur.
