The asciidoc.in sources had an attribute like:
:doctype:manpage
That attribute was not being correctly rendered in a2x
resulting in the 'doctype:manpage' showing up in a spurious
additional AUTHOR section at the end of the generated man pages like:
AUTHOR
:doctype:manpage
Fix with correct formatting of 'doctype' attribute.

INVENTORY
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Ansible stores the hosts it can potentially operate on in an inventory.
|
|
This can be an ini-like file, a script, directory or a list.
|
|
The ini syntax is one host per line. Groups headers are allowed and
|
|
are included on their own line, enclosed in square brackets that start the line.
|
|
|
|
Ranges of hosts are also supported. For more information and
|
|
additional options, see the documentation on http://docs.ansible.com/.
