   This display/format/layout problem is the reason why markup languages have   
   been invented. For example css within html or markdown on github readme.md   
   files.   
      
   If you are not looking for a one time conversion then text processing workflow   
   may be a good idea. You could keep two text files, one for easy human editing   
   and the output of text processing for the gopher files.   
      
   troff/groff have its own markup language. For example:   
   .ll 67   
   sets the line lenght to 67 chars   
   .sp 2   
   insert two blank lines.   
      
   The groff system can do macros. Some examples and better than mine   
   explanations can be found here:

   For the manpages format there is an existing macro set called "groff an.tmac"   
   macro package or man macro package. I think it comes with man usually, because   
   on my outdated system it can be found with "man 7 man". There are macros for   
   relative margin indent and indented paragraph macros.
