How are the man pages being written? In straight roff? If they were written in Docbook, they could more easily be converted to a number of other formats (HTML, man, PS, PDF). If not, there's man2html, but a docbook solution would be better long-term: roberto@brasileiro:~$ apt-cache show man2html Package: man2html Priority: optional Section: doc Installed-Size: 126 Maintainer: Nicolás Lichtmaier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 1.5-23.2 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-2), debianutils (>= 1.6) Recommends: httpd Suggests: manpages, manpages-dev Filename: pool/main/m/man2html/man2html_1.5-23.2_i386.deb Size: 54678 MD5sum: 3cadcfe5967266bbdfa07afa052cdc62 Description: Turns a web-browser and an httpd-server into a man pager.
