Hi Abhinav!

Interesting tool, and it looks really nice, thanks!

A suggestion, it would be nice to have a table of contents at the top of 
every man page, so that the reader can quickly jump to the desired 
section.  Sort of like how Wikipedia and similar do it!  I find myself 
often jumping from section to section when reading a manpage, so that 
feature would be great!

All the best,
Paggas
