Of course, if Pygments or Rouge supported source highlighting of a typeset man page, then it would be as simple as:

:source-highlighter: rouge

[source,man]

----

include::ls.man[]

----

But there's no available lexer atm. But that is a route you could take. It's pretty easy to match the headings and options in a typeset man page. You can use the vim highlighter as a starting point. See https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/syntax/man.vim

Here you put your man page name, such as:

COMMAND=ls
