How do I render a manual page from CGit's about page?

Hi all,

Recently, I set up an HTTP hosting for my Git server using the cgit
1.2.3 on Debian 13.

I love that the About page can render Markdown, but while looking at the
about page of password-store cgit [1], I noticed it renders a man page
instead.

Since there's nothing but the original man/pass.1 troff file in the tree
- no .md or .html files at all - it looks like cgit is doing the troff
rendering. I'm curious how I can set that up!

Thanks,
Hee-Suk Kim
