[Bug 62678] New: SEE ALSO section absent from manpages

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62678

            Bug ID: 62678
           Summary: SEE ALSO section absent from manpages
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.5-HEAD
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: bz.apache.org@mavit.org.uk
  Target Milestone: ---

The XML source for the `httpd` manpage [contains serveral `seealso` tags
](https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/manual/programs/httpd.xml?view=markup#l42),
but these never make it into the [generated
manpage](https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/man/httpd.8?view=markup).

This makes the page confusing to read: the formatted page says, at one point,
“See Stopping Apache httpd for more information”, but provides no indication of
where this can be found.

Other pages, such as the one for `apachectl`, have the same problem.

--- Comment #1 from Luis Gil de Bernabé P. <lg...@apache.org> ---
this cause could be much likely that in the xml files are not included the
<seealso> tag </seealso> at the summary section. so at the time the its the
documents are built, if its not included in the xml it wont generate this
secction on the documents.

on the other hand, we should first look at
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58132

suggestions are welcome even corrections
