 I also fixed formatting problems in this option. The result was checked
 using the commands:
 {{{
 $ a2x -f manpage /path/to/tor.1.txt
 $ man /path/to/tor.1
 }}}
 It would be good solution for now, but in future we have to make it
 working with `Sandbox` option. As I understand you, it doesn't contradict
 to the idea of sandbox design.
