Output differences between roff and rstΒΆ
Even if the output of roff and reStructuredText (rst) should be similar, there are some differences. The roff output provides more features than the rst output:
The reStructuredText output does not support the table and cell formatting options of scdoc.
The information from the scdoc preamble is not included in the reStructuredText output (aside from the name and section).
man uses usually underline for emphasis, while reStructuredText uses italic.
