Explain how to transform markup for the terminal when not using a
pager, and how to remove markup. Add related cross references. While here, as suggested by jmc@, replace the excessive cross references to the intro pages by a more relevant one to mandoc(1). Triggered by a question from, using feedback from, and OK jmc@.
