Maybe HTML or text versions of the man pages? Or at least a list of the
man page names - to those that don't know it's not always obvious what the
names of the man pages might be.

Say, something like this (man -k dhcp)

dhclient-script dhclient-script (8) - DHCP client network configuration
script
dhclient.conf   dhclient.conf (5)   - DHCP client configuration file
dhclient.leases dhclient.leases (5) - DHCP client lease database
dhcp-eval       dhcp-eval (5)       - ISC DHCP conditional evaluation
dhcp-options    dhcp-options (5)    - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
options
dhcpd           dhcpd (8)           - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Server
dhcpd.conf      dhcpd.conf (5)      - dhcpd configuration file
dhcpd.leases    dhcpd.leases (5)    - DHCP client lease database

And the example shows a host definition inside the subnet! Eek! This is
something that on this mailing list is strongly discouraged.
