Feature request, generating a man page from a node

[Karl Heinz Marbaise]

 RJC> Is there any plans or ongoing work on having makeinfo
 RJC> produce man pages?
Actualy I'm working on converting from Texinfo into ?roff but not
directly into man-page format.


 RJC> However, I am trying to inspire someone to write a Texinfo to
 RJC> DocBook converter.  
I'm working on Texinfo => SGML (Linux Doc/LDP) and SGML converter.
 RJC> DocBook has a docbook-to-man tool that might then
 RJC> do the job.
I have written in the other post that the point of view for texinfo and
man- pages are completley differnt.

 RJC> A nice side effect is that if we get a a Texinfo to DocBook
 RJC> converter, we get an indirect Texinfo to man page converter!
You don't get a man-page you get the complete Manual in man-page format
displayable. IMHO That's not the need of this
