W. Trevor King f2462ca59e docs: Follow man-pages(7) suggestions for SYNOPSIS
man-pages(7) has [1]:

> For commands, this shows the syntax of the command and its arguments
> (including options); boldface is used for as-is text and italics are
> used to indicate replaceable arguments. Brackets ([]) surround
> optional arguments, vertical bars (|) separate choices, and ellipses
> (...) can be repeated.

I've adjusted our SYNOPSIS entries to match that formatting, and
generally tried to make them more consistent with the precedent set by
the man-pages project.  Outside of the SYNOPSIS entry, I prefer using
backticks for literals, although in some places I've left the **
bolding to keep things visually similar to a nearby SYNOPSIS entry.

## NAME
podman\-exec - Execute a command in a running container
## SYNOPSIS
**podman exec** *container* [*options*] [*command* [*arg* ...]]
## DESCRIPTION
**podman exec** executes a command in a running container.
## OPTIONS
**--env, -e**
You may specify arbitrary environment variables that are available for the
command to be executed.
**--interactive, -i**
Not supported. All exec commands are interactive by default.
**--latest, -l**
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman
to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.
**--privileged**
Give the process extended Linux capabilities when running the command in container.
**--tty, -t**
Allocate a pseudo-TTY.
**--user, -u**
Sets the username or UID used and optionally the groupname or GID for the specified command.
The following examples are all valid:
--user [user | user:group | uid | uid:gid | user:gid | uid:group ]
