Some of the existing markup was just plain broken, and some subcommand
options weren't indented properly.

I poked at the markup with a stick until it rendered well (as both man
and html), but I really don't know much about asciidoc markup, so some
sanity-checking by a third party is probably a good idea.

I don't know much about it, either.  They take way too long for me to
build, so I've mostly just guessed the syntax based on the existing
documentation and let other people fix it for me :)

Looks sane to me.  I did not know about double-semicolon, which
is mentioned in the user guide documentation at the asciidoc
site but I could not tell how it is different from double-colon
form.  I am guessing (from the behaviour after applying your
patch) that it allows second level of listing...

Yes, it was used that way in the parts of the man page that already
looked OK, so I just copied it. If it looks good to you too, it must
be correct. :-)
