Some sections in the man page are badly formatted, notably in the OPTIONS section and the FAQ section. The problem is most likely caused by hard-coded spaces/tabs and line breaks.

Consider python(1):
python_1
and youtube-dl(1):
youtube-dl_1

Also the Debian bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793054

When I run make youtube-dl.1, it shows:

python devscripts/prepare_manpage.py >youtube-dl.1.temp.md
pandoc -s -f markdown -t man youtube-dl.1.temp.md -o youtube-dl.1
rm -f youtube-dl.1.temp.md

Should I try augmenting devscripts/prepare_manpage.py? Thanks!
