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.

% podman-start "1"
NAME
podman-start - Start one or more containers
SYNOPSIS
podman start [options] container ...
DESCRIPTION
Start one or more containers. You may use container IDs or names as input. The attach and interactive options cannot be used to override the --tty* and --interactive options from when the container was created. If you attempt to start a running container with the --attach option, podman will simply attach to the container.
OPTIONS
--attach, -a
Attach container's STDOUT and STDERR. The default is false. This option cannot be used when starting multiple containers.
--detach-keys
Override the key sequence for detaching a container. Format is a single character [a-Z] or ctrl- where is one of: a-z, @, ^, [, , or _.
--interactive, -i
Attach container's STDIN. The default is false.
--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.
--sig-proxy=true|false
Proxy received signals to the process (non-TTY mode only). SIGCHLD, SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL are not proxied. The default is false.
EXAMPLE
podman start mywebserver
podman start 860a4b23 5421ab4
podman start -i -a 860a4b23
podman start -i -l
