Public bug reported:

The rust-dd(1) manpage looks like it was incompletely converted from
Markdown, with sections containing markdown headings (e.g. `###
Operands`), and markdown code blocks (e.g. ```plain), and markdown lists
all concatenated into a single line:


--- excerpt from `man dd`
       ### General Flags

       - direct : use direct I/O for data.  - directory : fail unless the given input (if
       used as an iflag) or
         output (if used as an oflag) is a directory.  - dsync : use synchronized I/O for
       data.   -  sync  :  use  synchronized I/O for data and metadata.  - nonblock : use
       non-blocking I/O.  - noatime : do not update access time.   -  nocache  :  request
       that  OS drop cache.  - noctty : do not assign a controlling tty.  - nofollow : do
       not follow system links.

VERSION
       v(uutils coreutils) 0.2.2
