module.1 man page is not in the man format
The Makefile installs a module.1
man page which is not in the man format, but a plain-text file: https://github.com/TACC/Lmod/blob/eb3e9119ef1ec3a17f2feb693c9dba16e1c93503/Makefile.in#L245
This results in suboptimal formatting when viewed with the man
utility from man-db:
Usage: module [options] sub‐command [args ...]
Options:
‐h ‐? ‐H ‐‐help This help message
‐s availStyle ‐‐style=availStyle Site controlled avail style:

dbglvl is a number 1,2,3)
‐‐pin_versions=pinVersions When doing a restore use

mandoc can't even parse it and displays unreadable "binary data".
Please write a proper man page in a supported format.
