No links in man pages accessed through `man` #130

I would like to read the C++ man pages using the standard man command. So I ran cppman -m true, and after that I can access the man pages (after having created ~/.manpath which seems to be necessary). There is a problem though where no links are visible in the man pages when accessed through man instead of cppman. For example for std::vector this is what I get after cppman std::vector:

and the same page after man std::vector:

Note that all links are missing in the latter case. Is this known behavior, some issue on my side, or a bug? I am using Neovim as my man pager using: MANPAGER=/bin/sh -c "col -b | nvim -c 'set ft=man ts=8 nomod nolist nonu noma' -". Other man pages do show links. This is using cppman 0.5.3.

I am looking into this, and it seems this works the way it works because of the cppman.vim plugin being source by cppman. So this can be solved locally, I will research the required MANPAGER setting to get consistent results, and still be able to view non-cpp man pages correctly.
