I am not a native speaker of the English language, but "manual documentation about" feels duplicatedly redundant, at least to me. I think it is more common to say "the manual page for", or "the man page for".

An earlier description for man.viewer says "in the 'man' format".

And this part says "the man pages".

Is this a mistyped "HTML format"?
