Hi Jackson,

Indeed a problem with mandoc(1), which should not generate duplicate IDs
in HTML output.

This is a problem with the manual; if it names a section it should
refer to the section by that name.

Problem with the manual.
Should be Op Fl i Ar input-type | Fl \&: Qo Ar SMILES-string Qc

Please do. mandoc(1) could use some improvement when it comes to
producing valid HTML.
